This year I am using Sta-Green Flower and Vegetable Planting Mix. I had really good luck with it last year ao I use dall new soil this year. Something is just not right this year. First, my second planting of my cucumbers is looking anemic. I lost the first batch to cold spring weather. The plants are starting to fade and yellow - again. Cannot blame it on the weather this time as it is quite acceptable now for cucumbers. Also, my basil has doubled in height but it is putting out really small leaves for some reason. The original leaves are quite large, however. My zukes are growing but slowlyband they too are pale.
Wha could be going on? They are exhibiting classic nutrient deficiency characteristic but this is new soil with extended release nitrogen.
