I recently re-dug a small (4ft square) bed with new topsoil and compost. The first thing I planted in it were two rows of spinach seeds - some bolt-resistant variety that claimed to be OK nearly all summer long.
I'm new to growing stuff so was pleased to see nice little spouts appear, but then nothing much happened to them for a week or two, until I noticed yesterday they have all fallen flat... still just two long thin leaves.
We've had quite a lot of rain and nothing else is showing signs of drying out but is that still the likely cause, or something else? I'd kind of assumed with the soil being nice and rich, I could pretty much plant them and leave them other than keeping it damp.
