My vegetables,seem to have stalled??

Hi

I planted various vegetables two weeks ago,carrots,cauli,leeks,beetroot,and a few others (i forgot,lol)I did notice a few shoots coming through,and as far as i know they are the veg i planted,some could be weeds coming through again from the patch we dug,the thing is they dont seem to have gotten much bigger,they seem to have "stopped",roughly how big should they be now?When i dug the patch over i never added anything to it,just broke the earth into small lumps,and then planted,should i have added something to the earth,and should i "feed" them now,if so what is the best thing to feed them with now??

Thanks

Martin

all help welcomed.

 

Martin, is your area going through the same drought the rest of us seem to be suffering? Or have you been watering your seed beds?

 

Its been the same here,been dry for a while but i give them a good soaking about 7.30 each night.

 

Then they should be poking their heads up about now.:D

 

Thanks for the replies

There are a few poking thier heads up from what i can tell,but i think that alot of it could be plants/weeds that were in the patch.before i dug/prepaired it,i dont however know what was growing there before.is there somewhere i can view pictures of the veg i have planted when.they are seedlings,so i can see how they look?is it possible to add compost to.the soil now?

Thanks

Martin, if you sowed them in straight lines and they are coming up in straight lines, then that is your plants.

 

Thanks daitheplant

I have some coming up in the rows i planted them in,but i am finding it difficult to tell what is what?i can see lots of beetroot i know that because of the purple in the stems,but the others i am not sure about.

Martin, once the seedlings are recognisable then you can start weeding, Don`t worry about it just yet.
