Sorry - yet another question from me!
I planted out some very healthy mangetout seedlings about 2 weeks ago, but they are now looking very sickly, yellow and skinny.
Am I right in thinking it is just down to the dry weather? They are in a raised bed and I am struggling to keep it watered enough, although I give it a good soaking whenever I am there. The soil constantly looks parched and is cracked on top. I was going to put some newspapers down, wet them then put home made compost on top. Would that help? Or is there anything else I can do that would perk them up again? There are broad beans in the same bed and they look really healthy.
