Week 25 - Bed DD5

The rocket (centre) grew well initially, but the spinach (left), kohl rabi (right) and Minowase radish (not shown) either failed to germinate or didn't grow well.

The rocket has been eaten by flea beetles, and a few of the plants are starting to bolt.

The chicory appears to be growing well, despite the wrong conditions, but is very bitter, indicating that it has not had the right growing conditions. All of the plants in this bed prefer cool weather and have been stressed or failed to germinate under recent conditions. Extra water would have helped.
