Just feeling like having a whine about the general crappiness of this year's summer so far! Nothing seems to be growing - I've not even had any broad beans yet! The slugs have decimate two courgette plants (the surviving ones are small and looking rather sickly) all my kale plants and are having a good nibble at the rest of the brassicas (despite the pellets!!). They've also had half my sunflowers and my echinacea has been reduced to stalks. The wind has been equally destructive with all the branches of my plum tree now leaning over and my elderflower branches are all drooping very low and squiching the plants that were underneath. I rather feel like not bothering this year and just starting over next year in the hopes the weather picks up. The only things that are growing are the gfrass and nettles at the lottie which seem to be growing at a rate of three feet per week.
OK, misery and self-pitying over, time to go and do some gardening!
