Is there anything you cannot grow?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I have just been out for a nice lunch and fancied sitting in the garden rather than pottering. While sitting I pondered on my failure to grow anything resembling a half decent spring onion.
In the past I have grown onions from seed, although to be honest I grow from sets now, but I have never ever grown a reasonable spring onion so we resort to buying them from the local market.
So, spring onions are my nemesis, what is yours?

 

Can't grow Pak Choi & Fennel without them bolting

 

Yep, spring onions always tend to just sit there, they then form a small bulb, and the green bit dies.

 

Anything in containers....even though I still keep trying...It must be more down to me with the watering but talk about flogging a dead horse

 

Agree with Lolimac, ok when dealing in containers as big as my enormous whisky barrels but anything smaller and I seem to be akin to Doc Death! As for house plants...I've been given all sorts over the years and managed to kill the lot. I'm doing really well if I keep an Orchid going for more than a month, my daughter gave me some silk flowers for my birthday so what does that tell you?

 

Daylilies. In this garden they just will not do anything respectable. They look lush when young, then keel over and look rather ugly and then flower sporadically. I've tried everything and thinking of just pulling the lot out after this year. Had no problem at all in previous gardens. Tough as old boots people say but ...
Echinacea won't grow well here either. Always looks rather pathetic.
Soil dries very very quickly here despite plenty of lovely stuff being dug in. Think that is part of the problem.
Whatever it is, I don't like fighting my garden so I tend to have a go and then exile those that refuse to thrive.
