I think we are going to be really struggling to get much in the way of crops this year. A month ago I sowed radishes, salads, broad beans, peas, turnips, carrots, spinach beet, beetroot, spring onions etc. Only the beans, radishes and salads have come up. I would normally  expect to be harvesting radishes and salads by now. All that has managed to grow in a month are the seed leaves.

This weather is Rubbish!!! Anyone else finding their garden just isn't growing?

[YorkshireLass]

Me!!
And I was thinking it's just me being rubbish. I've got some teeny shoots but....

Where my garden is going to be is still full of building 'stuff' as the weather has been so bad that OH hasn't been able to do much - except get my piggies new house and pen ready...bless him.

i really want to get some rubarb in as it's worth it's weight in gold.. I paid £2.99 a kilo at the local village green grocers last week - enough to make two puds cost me £11.0!!!!Ouch...

last years plot is now in the new pig pen so am going to put runner beans in the little bit of flower garden i've managed to get started on - but this wet cold weather is not helping.

I have two troughs of salad leaves which are showing through although the third (sowed a few days later) isn't yet.  No sign of my chives or chard.

Vss,I am so glad I planted by broad beans in October!,they are about the only veg that is doing any good,my tomatoes are about 6/8 inches tall though seeded in the house,everything else from the polytunnel is very slow,sweetcorn is about a foot now,chillies,lettuce are still tiny and some have completely given up,I planted some aubergines and still waiting for them to come up  I also have a problem with my beetroots!

Trouble is there is not enough light or heat,the morning glories have their third set of leaves,but I only managed to save half of them,dyed,my rhubarb is growing but at the moment is less than half the size it was last year and still quite spindly

Same here.

Had to seed everything in the polytunel this year as the house is being rebuilt and everything is very slow. Tomatoes - tiny still - and the cucumbers and yellow peppers didn't come at all. Aubegines just peeping up but look frost damaged!

Dreadful so far my veg garden is under 2 or 3 inches of water and far too soft to venture on to.
My potatoes are sprouted and ready to go in, normally i put them in on Good Friday but constant rain has mean't they're still sat waiting, think i'll resort to grow bags for them!
The greenhouse is bursting with stuff to go out though have lost a couple of courgettes to the minus five frost the other night, soft stuff tomatoes, courgettes, squashes etc are all really slow its juts not wet or light enough. 
Did manage to get muck up to the polytunnel and that awaits the aforementioned soft stuff but its far too cold to risk it. The joys of living in the North east!
lets hope we get an indian summer in lieu!

Not a seed in the ground yet

Every year is like that here, so I start most things off either indoors, in a heated propagator, or in the polytunnel.  Most things catch up with The South eventually and we do get crops - usually.  There was one year when we lived in Edinburgh and had a couple of allotments, when we had a sea fog which went on for over a month - most crops rotted or failed to grow, but most years we get something, although we never get everything.
I suppose I have the advantage of expecting the weather to be rubbish so I am prepared for it, whereas this rain has come at completely the wrong time for you guys further south. I hope it improves soon.

[little blue]

even the seeds in the greenhouse seem sloooooowww!!
Just hope it'll all catch up eventually...

[Mammyshaz]

Onions and garlic growing well outdoors but everything else from beans to peas and broccoli are growing in pots in the Jungle  house until the weather improves.
Tried tomatoes outside for a few hours on Tuesday as it was fairly warm but they have gone down hill after a few gusts of wind hit them  just wish some good weather would arrive now.

[deepinthewoods]

umm, all good here, in the beds so far, kale, sprouts, brocolli, spinach, broadbeans, leeks, garlic, onions, all doin ok, i know im south west but the warmth IS coming, definite change in the weather over the last few days. be patient i reckon, its late but the seeds will all catch up. i think its going to be a roasting summer, rooks are high in the trees.

[FiB]

Not a seed in the ground yet 

Me too.  Idid put some spuds in but I expect they have rotted! Still feels like March here, so I'm ignoring the name of the month and waiting to feel some warmth on my back!  Even my sprouting seeds on the windowsil have given up the ghost and gone mouldy (they might have been OK in the winter when we had the woodburner going but the house is a steady 13 degrees at mo!!!).

[Lesley Silvester]

I hadn't made the connection but my rhubarb is spindly this year.  It probably thinks it's to early in the season to be making much effort.

[Bramblecot]

Three days of inpenetrable thick sea fog  but today it is a clear blue sky like Greece  .  No wonder our poor plants don't know what to do - loads of beans, courgettes, pumpkins have rotted in the greenhouse, and yes, the rhubarb is pathetic too.  But sunny days ahead
