Generally disheartening...............

[AllInContainers]

On a downer ....

Filbert dead, melons dead, apple a bit sick and no blossom, cherry produced only three fruits of which one has dropped off, daylillies been struggling, dwarf pomegranate nearly kippered, callalo failed, japanese beefsteak failed, jostaberry and blackcurrant minimal fruit, still so signs of a bloomin fig, only flowers in place right now are strawberry, raspberry and elder - lots of green, but no colour

On an upper ...

Raspberries and strawberries doing fantastic (though nothing ripe yet), chillis doing well, cardoon is enormous, jerusalem and chinese artichokes look well, can now put washing out and have got lots more space in seating area, overall look and feel is not too bad even though not very productive

Nett result = generally disheartening
Yup, I think the whiner threads are fairly justified

Each you win some you loose some. Me,it's brassicas, usually grow good cabbage but this year I can't even get them started! Most other things are doing well and there is still always year

Re. Wheelbarrows.....that was my idea of lighthearted banter! And I totally agreed with you, that's why you got a 'like' from me!
I kind of liked the image anyway.........

Wheelbarrows? yes I may nick that one some day

Another point - the negative nelly threads are also good for reminding you you're not the only one feeling a bit useless.
