What to feed veg in pots before planting
« on: April 14, 2009, 21:50 »
All my potted on veg have been watered with a little seaweed now and again to help with growth. However, my Broccoli started ok but when I potted them on they have since become very light green and weedy. Some of the leaves even yellowing and dying.

Peas and Broad beans are excellent.

Planted out veg on the raised bed: Spring onions are still very very thin. Some have broken. Beetroot are still very small too.

Any suggestions ?

Where are your plants kept?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I suspect it got too warm for them. Brassicas do not like it hot.

Harden them off outside. That goes for the peas & beans as well.

Thanks. I have been hardening off the beans and peas but will start with the broccoli.
