Have they been in the sun and got crispy ? Perhaps they need some shade for a while, and perhaps a half strength feed.  I'd also pick off the flowers 'til they are a bit bigger.

Was thinking of just picking them of and yes they’ve been sat in the sun in the greenhouse for last couple of days what feed would you recommend I’m trying to grow them organically and only just got my comfrey bed planted so not ready

Organic liquid feed? Don't know I just use Wilkos  :unsure:

I guess a seaweed feed would work.
