Planting in Gravely Soil of Raised Flower Bed – Do We Need to Remove Stones or Improve Soil? Plus, Best Summer Flowers Recommendations

[alex1990]

I’m looking at these luscious green gardens and trying to work out why mine isn’t thriving?! I spent loads on my boarder a couple of years ago and this year I’ve lost a few things from the winter and the leaves on the plants that are left are going brown and holey! What am I doing wrong?

Without photos it’s hard to say but we’ve all struggled with the super hot summer last year and the cold cold winter just gone
Put an sos out there in that group and you’ll get some ace help

@alex1990 we lost a few hebes and an azalea this year. The extremes of temperatures just upset them!! You are probably doing nothing wrong!

@blackrose613 Thank you for the reassurance. It is disappointing but I guess I just have to learn as I go along!
