Hey everyone! Is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing a really off year with their gardening? I've noticed that everything seems to be growing super slowly, getting diseased, or just dying without any apparent reason. I grow a lot of tomatoes and cucumbers, but I haven't been able to harvest nearly as many as I hoped for this season, especially with my tomatoes!

It’s definitely the weather! This year has thrown us all off balance. It’s been weird with all the fluctuations—some plants seem to be thriving while others are barely making it. I feel like it’s not just you!
Last year was rough too with all the rain, but this summer is just all over the place!
I hear you! My courgettes are a mess. It’s not fantastic for anything, but at least slugs are taking it easy this year. Just take it as it comes, some plants are just having a rough season.
Funny, my courgettes are going crazy! Only one plant, but it’s pumping out these huge zucchinis!
We're in Scotland, and our courgettes have been mediocre too. Really weird with all the conditions this year.
Don't lose hope! I went through three years of terrible blight on my tomatoes before I almost gave up. It happens to the best of us! This year has been like a dream for me—everything is flourishing. Just remember, gardening is about ups and downs. You might hit the jackpot next season!

For real! My chillis are doing fine, though! What’s up with that?
