    hi everyone. I have been visiting this forum for a while now and find it very informative thanks.
    I am also relativley new to gardening and need some advise if anyone can help. This is my first post.
    I live in a very heavy clay area next to a canal.We were lucky enough not to be flooded out but, the garden does hold water on the border edges. The ground has been very wet as I am sure a lot of you had the same problem. I have a cherry tree and it has lost all its leaves. They seem to have dried out and fallen off. Now some plants are looking very ill. Can you tell me if this is due to the wet and if so will they die.Many thanks for reading this and your advise will be most welcome.

    Hi I am in Saxilby.Live next to the foss dyke. Hope your garden is drying out well. Read your post, I did get waterlogged out the back garden but thankfully nothing as bad as you suffered.Hope your garden and plants are ok.
