Not exactly a photo of the garden, but the layout thus far (the glasshouse still has to be built). We're on a suburban property in a neighborhood built on historic market gardens. All of the veggies are planted in raised beds. The fruit trees were planted bare-rooted, have been in the ground for only 4 months, and recently bloomed and grew leaves. No shots of the entire garden just yet, but some "close-ups" below.





And the one below is particularly old as all of the raised beds are now in place. Obviously needing to get out with the camera!

So I pulled up one of the plants to have a look at the roots and everything looks normal. For whatever reason now, they're starting to take off again. There's a weird light brown 'zone' from the soil to approx. 3cm up but from there on each plant is green and growing. I really don't know. Soil sample is on the to-do list. Thanks again for your help and suggestions!

Thank you very much for your replies everyone... it's all very helpful.

Bryant: It's actually the first time we've planted anything in this garden because we moved in about 4.5 months ago. So I really couldn't tell you what's different at this point. Am definitely keeping a journal though. Thank you kindly for your tips on taking soil samples.

David: Will have a look at those details now and take a peek at the plants this arvo.

Craig: That's good to hear... it was quite chilly in Tassie for a little while, so maybe something similar is happening down here. When did you sow your peas in Melbourne?

Hi all,
I have never had any trouble growing snow peas before, but for some reason, my freshly planted seedlings are suffering. I can not for the life of me figure out why. I water them every day and feel like I'm water them enough, they are in a sunny spot, and it's not too warm (spring has just started here in Tasmania and the nights are still chilly with sunny days). If anyone has some snow pea advice or knowledge, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance
