Mowed the lawn, cleaned a couple of garden chairs and table, decided that was quite enough effort and had a gin n tonic in the sun whilst enjoying my erm hard work.

Don't blame you.

Make hay whilst the sun shines.

I like to be positive about the weather but in recent times its had a habit of letting us down.

Just come in from the greenhouse and garden.

Starting to feel like I'm getting somewhere.

Oh dear, I felt quite proud until I read what you all had done!

Really wish I hadn't done as much as I did, I've got aches and pains in places I didn't know I had

They both look are suffering but as I'm quite new with flowers I don't really know how to help them?

Any idea?

Any suggestion where I can also find easy tips for gardening and home plants?

Thanks

You'd probably have got a better response if you started a new thread but some advice here for Jasmine

and for an azalea

I don't have much luck with azaleas but I know if they are in a pot they need ericaceous compost and rainwater

Watching the news today I saw that garden centres have done very well lately due to better weather and a little more faith in the economy.

Is that your experience?

All weather related. Gardening is a relatively ression proof industry.
