Well that's no surprise.... I reckon 70% of my clientele effectively went onto hiatus for the last 3 months and when your working year is only 9 months (March - November) its unsettling times for sole trader gardeners like myself.
Though gardeners are not farmers we have still been hit by this unusual occurrence so I wonder if the government has thought about us and our industry. With all that heat and a hose pipe ban plus a cost of living crisis thanks to wars in the middle east and Ukraine and stupid government legalisation and cost implications, I wonder who will still be trading next year when everything is correctly done?
Have you been effected or have anything to say please comment below π
