Hi all!
I'm new here! Have finally gotten my Square foot garden up and running after dreaming about having a vegetable garden since I was a kid and I would visit my Grandfather who grew just about every fruit and vegetable you could want!
I have 3 'gardens'. A 5x2, and 2 3x1's. I direct-sowed most of my seeds March 4th.
Everything sprouted in a timely manner and seemed to be doing well. But it's been a month now, and my cucumbers, beets, carrots and corn are still just seedling size. They haven't really grown much at all in the past 3 weeks.
I used the recommended 'Mel's Mix' of 1/3 each of vermiculite, organic compost (different kinds) and peat moss. They are in a spot where they are getting about 5-6 hours of sunlight a day. I've been watering everyday, a good 7-8 second soak with the hose on a 'shower' setting.
My seeds were purchased from Seeds of Change Organic seeds. Other seeds I purchased are doing just fine (radishes, peas, beans).
So... any ideas? I want healthy veggies!
Thanks!!
Rachael
