Problems: Carrots, Spinach,Lettuce and Peppers.
Posted: Wed Aug 12, 2009 8:33 pm
Please read through as I have multiple problems going on here.
I have several small planters on my porch with the following "growing"
Basil
Rosemary
Lettuce (Not head)
Spinach
Jalapeño Peppers
Habanero Peppers
Carrots
Basil is growing great. Several harvests.
Rosemary also doing well.
Lettuce - Grew up in a sad stalks with few broad leaves that never really filled in.
Spinach - Sprouts were coming in well and 2 days later all sprouts but 1 died. The sole survivor never got over 3" tall and has only 4 small (pea sized) leaves.
Jalapeño - Plant grew into two "stalks" each stalk grew only 1 pepper. One of the stalks has a 2nd pepper, but it has been 1/16" for over 1.5 months now
Habanero - Plant looks great, but only 1 pepper which has now ripened into a lovely orange. Several more spurts of flowering has occurred, but each flower stalk turns yellow and dies
Carrots - Nice greens growing 6+" tall, but no sign of 'carrot' peeking through the ground, so today I dug one up. The root went down about 3" in a sad white strand. No sign of carrot development.
Any tips on what I did so wrong here? All have been watered regularly, and fed "Miracle Grow" for veggies.
