My sweet peas were great, because we had hot weather in April instead of the usual stuff, and I'd sown some in autumn. It meant I had plants I could put out earlier. Plenty of wet weather, some good warmth, so generally good conditions for them

Yeah,I normally got my sweetpeas as seedlings for the garden centre but the lockdown happened,I ordered seeds,they took forever to arrive so i was way behind my normal timetable,as I said not as plentyful but they are still producing flowers. I tried,for the first time,cosmos,grew big but nice whitw daisy flowers,cornflowers,the flowers were smaller that I expected but not bad and also morning glory which had a slow start but eventually grew well,quite tall with lovely navy flowers.
Did any of you guy try something different this year?
Not too bad thanks. The grass stayed green all summer (probably because the dry spell was early). Unusual hanging baskets because I couldn't get to a GC at the right time, so all I had was lobelia, nasturtium and morning glory seeds from the supermarket, cuttings off my purple tradescantia house plants (looking surprisingly good in the baskets, I'll probably do that again) and a couple of shrubby salvia cuttings from last year (hoping to save those). Tomatoes have been really good, potatoes in big containers OK, but the cucumbers never really got going. I think snails got the stems of the young plants.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Not sure I did any different plants. Toms have been slow, as the cooler days meant it wasn't even that warm in the growhouse, so they've been slower to ripen.
