Not Growing

I seem to have a few issues this year. I have only been gardening 2 years so new.
My apple tree has not flowered this year.I've had it 3 years and fine before..
I've planted podded peas and they are going yellow and not growing..I water every other day. Plenty of manure when I planted.
my alliums have not come through but all the foliage is healthy..this and peas from same shop?
My water melon also from same shop has died when I planted it in the GH.
Any advice as to what's going wrong?

I would not attempt to grow watermelons in this country,without a heated humid greenhouse, even then I dont think there is much chance of it coming to anything. Did the frost get it last week?
Some apples tend towards biennial bearing, one of my big trees has few apples one year and a bumper crop the following. I planted five small trees, all of them flowered and fruited last year, this year one has not got any blossom at all.
Peas sound like they are being overwatered.
Allium bulbs may have been too small to flower in the first year,if they are in a sunny position and you feed them this year, they may flower next year. Did you plant them deep enough?, at least twice the depth of the bulb , I plant mine up to six inches deep.
