These last few days of good weather have made a great improvement to the peas and spuds.

after weeks of cold weather and seedlings taking ages to sprout, the heatwave has fried loads of my seedlings ..... guess they just weren't big and strong enough to survive the heat ....
lost my 3rd lot of cucumbers, the watermelons, pumpkins, most of 2 trays of sweet peppers, most of our chillies, 40+ brassicas and probably loads more .... the 5th sowing of sweetcorn was the only sowing that sprouted .... 15 sown, 8 sprouted, 2 looking a bit crispy now ....
almost a disaster with the weather this year ....
all i need now is a frost to kill off all the spuds and toms ....Comment

I was talking with a gardening mate last night and he reckons the weather has made it the most difficult year he has had in 50 years of gardening.

Looking impressive Colin....potatoes look v healthy...
Warm weather has certainly helped put on a growth spurt...my onions, parsnips,turnips, beetroot and potatoes have all grown strongly in last few weeks..Carrots less so for some reason...
As others say, it is easy tho to lose seedlings in this heat...I have lost sweetcorn ones so far and am now back germinating a few things in the house!!! Just when I was getting all the plants etc out
I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....
...utterly nutterly

Love the sun, hate the watering. The weather has certainly been strange this year. It's good that what has survived is coming on now.A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rowsComment

Pa...mine is a mess as well.

How much does 6 dustbins of compost cost ?
I hope you use lots of your own !
Still they look good.
JimmyExpect the worst in life and you will probably have under estimated!Comment

Plants looking very healthy and happy Potty congrats...i do so like the bins
Don't think its a cost thing i would not dare tot up the cost of the compost i have had to purchase...it's more about the satisfaction and feeling of one's own wellbeing that negates the cost...unless it goes to excess :POriginally posted by Jimmy View PostComment
