Last year I was giving 10kg of courgettes away every week at work...

This year I don't think 1 of 7 plants have survived... Sad days

My courgettes last year didn't want to get going, I think I had half a dozen out of 3 plants.

This year, all my courgette plants are producing loads of fruit and I've already picked a few.
 
It’s been tough going this year with the lack of rain, but I’ve put a fair bit of time into the front border. Really happy with the result. Added a few more lily’s this morning (the slugs took a couple out last year), along with some more bark following a hedge trim. The bark that has rotted down over the years has made some wonderful soil in the border too.

The roses have slowed down a bit, but they should flower a few times again this year.

My clover project is going well too, the bees love it:

And what was a dead corner has become a small wildlife haven over the last couple of years:

One of the side borders has recovered well too after a big bush collapsed a couple of years ago leading me to have to cut it all back:

I've never noticed bees sleeping in flowers before, but this year they are.
They're still there when I go to bed and gone in the morning..

Can't say I'm a fan, so may pickle them and see what they're like.
 
Not sure if it's the right forum but does anyone have a recommendation for outdoor bulbs to go on a pergola? Preferably solar powered. Thanks
