After gardening for fifty years I still have numerous gardening disasters and mistakes. They range from insufficient water, insufficient sunshine, too much sun, not fertilizing sufficiently, earth as hard as iron, heavy clay which is typical London soil, planting shade-loving plants in the sun and sun-loving plants in the shade, waterlogged seed trays, seedlings dying through lack of watering when I was on holiday, squirrels and birds searching for food, and the all-pervasive slugs which devour everything.Then there are the plants I buy enthusiastically but don't have time to plant, or don't have time to prepare the ground properly, plants which are overgrown or strangled by stronger plants competing for the same space, trampled plants, balls regularly flying over the fence from my next-door neighbours' children on both sides, plants being trampled upon by amateur paid gardeners with boats for feet and two left hands, and over-zealous weeding by a visiting friend.
