My vegetable garden was washed away in the recent flooding. The water came over the top of my wellies.





Things could have been worse though, the water was only ankle deep in the house.
Reply:Live in the Midwest U.S. things are growing well this year, but due to a lack of rain, have to water everyday with the heat wave. Thanks for asking!!

Reply:I don't grow my own flower but my dad does and has won loads of awards for best local garden in our area his plants are find and the greenhouse tomatoes are just starting to ripen they taste great better than any you can buy
Reply:Haven't you had flooding up there though?
Reply:My roses are doing great this year. My bleeding heart has gone dormant, though it had a good run. It's also been a good year for my hydrangea, hostas and lilies. I even had a sunflower that unexpectedly survived the winter. I just planted some coleus and dusty miller as filler. We've had so much rain lately - really could have used it in April. But oh the roses are just doing wonderful this year and are so beautiful! I live in southern Minnesota, US.
Reply:North Carolina, i grew two rows of carrots and got two weeds....take a guess what that means
Reply:Not too good at the moment, everything shriveled up with the blistering heat here (sorry uk answers, I know you haven't seen too much of the sun) but we've had some rain too so things might perk up now---- Costa Blanca, Spain
Reply:As a keen 'experimental gardener' I have been very disappointed this year. Because of the constant wind, rain and cold temperatures my garden is not at it's best this year. Last year, with the warm temperatures my garden was full of flowers and my tomato plants didn't stop producing fruit. This year the tomato plants have all turned black and there's not as much fruit on them as last year- I have read this year has been worst for 'blight' for tomatos and potatoes.


This year is the 1st year I have tried to grow my own veg. The peas, carrots and french beans all did well, as did lettuce and radish. Unfortunately my runner beans were eaten by slugs and snails before they really got going. For Bournemouth, Dorset (south coast of England) this year the weather has really taken it's toll on my garden.....maybe I'll have better luck next year! As I said - I am an experimental gardener!
