Tomatoes. They seem simple enough to grow, provided you avoid blight. However despite using a recommended timetable, compost, positioning, and feeding, my nine plants are down to two (the moneymakers survived if you are interested - the marmande and the variety I always forget the name of, failed).
These are one of the few things I bought from plugs rather than planting from seed - and I used a reputable place. What happened? They shrivelled and died as though neglected, despite being watered and loved and being kept away from all frost.
I couldn't take the pain of failure and had to console myself by buying some more at the garden centre today - different varieties of course - about six varieties and two plants of each. It's either going to end in tears again, or in a mega tomato overload. I really hope it's the latter!
