Hi, I'm a newbie to DG and just wanted to know if anyone has any tales to tell of the changes in their gardening methods or the plants they now grow? I moved here to Ireland from the UK two years ago and we have had no summers at all during that time - just rainy day after another rainy day. I'm not used to gardening in bogland and have given up - I am growing in containers and planning a couple of raised beds. But am I doing the right thing? I'm especially interested in growing vegetables but are there any types of veg you can grow in extremely wet conditions? I mean on ground that NEVER dries out.
This year I grew some of the red flowered heritage broad bean but they haven't matured. I've grown broad beans in very wet soil last year and they produced a reasonable crop but this year - no luck.
