        Where are they planted, were they hardened off? Is it whole leaves or just a part of them? Do you have any photos? Need more information!

            I grew in the green house then hardened off before planting soil poor and very stoney grew brassicas in it last year grew like mad things. Limed ground previous two years this year used chicken manure and bone meal

              I think Two Sheds is right, they don't like the cold. Could you fleece them or give them a barrier from cold winds?

                    For what it's worth, I have a fleece barrier round mine and although they're slow and late-ish, they've stayed nice and green through these last few windy and colder days.

                        So you've limed it twice.

                        Beans (and peas) fix their own nitrogen, so you don't need to give them any extra

                        bit late now. I'd sow some more, they will catch up your old plants really quick if it ever warms up

                        As a wind-shelter, try and plant them in amongst other crops. They won't be in straight lines, but they'll be a bit happier. Mine are dotted around behind the raspberries fedge

                          using the three bed system limed the ground for the brassicas last year, not this year.


                          Thanks Janet

                            You did though. You added chicken manure and bonemeal. Both are sources of lime
