Transplant Trouble
I seeded my fall plants as usual in starter pots with good mix.
After they came up strong I transplanted them around 5 inches tall. The ones I planted in 5 gallon bucket with potting mix took off. The ones I placed in my garden boxes with composted soil mix stunted. Noting the stunted plants are in the same place that I had my spring plants that did great. So I am baffled why these transplants won't grow? I have provided fertilizer and water. All pics below were taken today and show trandplants occurred at same time. |

Check the roots for galls. You may have root knot nematodes.
