What is your least preferred gardening weather?

After being caught out on our camping trip in severe windy conditions, I commented to Deb that I could easily camp in all other weather conditions except strong winds.

My reasoning was that if it were cold, I could add a layer of clothes or sit closer to the fire. If I were hot, I could reduce my clothing layers or go for a swim etc. However, wind was one weather condition that you couldn't escape from and remain outdoors.

What about gardening though? We all have to deal with varying weather patterns as we enjoy our gardens and unless we garden indoors we have had to face some of these conditions. So, add your vote to the poll on the right-side bar and even share some of your worst gardening experiences brought about by inclement weather.

I'm with you, Stuart. Wind is the pits. When it's cold, it makes you feel icy. When it's hot, it's like standing in a blast furnace. Only when the weather is mild does a gentle breeze feel pleasant, and then only if you've remembered your hat to keep your hair out of your face.

Since I am a gardener for a living, I garden in most conditions. Working in very windy conditions is dangerous where I work. We get alot of heavy maple tree branches come down. I also do not like to work in the summer months. So I take them off and hire a student:).
