Hi,
Is it true that some veg is best grown in situ?i seem to loose my beans in
transplanting.Is this true of other veg too?Also is it necessary for true
leaves to form before transplants?My seedlings grow ever so slowly and
sometimes get tall and leggy like my okra right now.Should I wait for true
leaves?I'm losing some of them as they snap.
Also, back to peppers....a few of my seedlings seemed to be doing well but
suddenly just came off and I found them to be rootless!Any idea what might
have happened?Thanks.
