Selling Flowers

I know its ridiculous to quit now. Because it's bound to be a perfect sunny summer next year. After the shambles and shit of this summer it is highly improbable that it can be repeated next year. But I'm not taking the risk. I worked so hard this year. Potting up plant after plant for days on end. Protecting them from frost in my greenhouse and summerhouse for as long as I could. Taking them out, bringing them in. Putting them out, bringing them in. But then once put outside they were greeted by hail and wind and wet and cold. All the geranium leaves just went red with no sun and warmth to sustain them. The pansies went rotten with water saturation and the petunias just got beaten ragged by the wind. I will not put myself through the trauma of this year again.
I am trashing all the wooden benches I made.
I wouldn't have lasted five minutes in the wild west would I?
If at first you don't succeed.
Then sky-diving is probably not for you.
