    Last year i had a garden for the 1st time and i did a really good job it looked great but this year ive made such a mess off it yesterday i started pulling everything out :gaah:
    Its probably too late now aswell to get it looking nice this year.

    We're all behind this year with the weather Hydrogen. Keep calm and carry on:snork:

    We might get a nice autumn.

      Yea thats half to do with it i had loads off seeds i had started but i put them in a shady area so they didnt get too hot like last year, coz we had a heatwave in spring, but then this year the opposite has happened and they have stretched coz no sun mother nature needs to pull her finger out!

      Yeah, i'm struggling with stretched seedlings too, after the slugs wiped out the first phase i'm bringing on more plants on the window sill but its too warm indoors. Sticking stuff outside in a slug free area during the day.

      :snork: Must admit i've been tempted, but with putting the place up for sale its probably not worth the expense. Just growing what food I can in the meantime.

      First outdoor tomato is ripening.

          Keep at it and put some fast growing seeds in, Hydrogen. Nasturtium, clarkia, candytuft. Bet you'll get a result. Trawl the sheds for reduced bargains, any good space fillers. Ask friends and families for any spares. Get some tomato plants, still plenty about. You've got a good three months to grow yet.
