    Hi there everyone, trying to be a better gardener and will need some help please. Weather has been awful here but there are now signs of things improving so hopefully I’ll be kept busy.

    Welcome! Weather everywhere has been pretty awful, but gardeners persevere and eventually get fine flowers and good vegetables.
    What do you grow--annual and/or perennial flowers, vegetables, ???

    Thanks marlingardener, eileen and Netty. Marlingardener I mainly have shrubs, perennials and some annuals in tubs. Would love to grow veg but I’ve no space for them atm.
    Netty I love hummingbirds too, unfortunately we don’t have them in Ireland but I’ve been very fortunate to see them in Blue Ridge when holidaying in America. :)

    Hi Hummingbird, welcome to GardenStew. Many veggies can be grown in tubs, I have asparagus and tomatoes in tubs and have grown potatoes in tubs too. Almost all things are possible to a gardener so don't give up. ;)
    We love photos of all sorts....before you get started, during the process and that TaDa moment when you have blooms.

    Hi @Hummingbird from a Galwegian :) I know what you mean about terrible weather. This year has been crazy. Hopefully better weather is to come this summer. Hope you really enjoy GardenStew :stew2:
