Default Any hope for me, or my garden

A beautiful day, worked hard in the garden. Prepared a seed bed and
sowed pickling onions, lettuce and beetroot. Similarly planted main crop
potatoes. All these were fed chicken manure and growmore. On returning
my tools etc. to the garage, there was the growmore, bl**dy laughing at
me, I'd used lawn spring feed, weed and moss killer instead. I accept
there is not much hope for me, but what about the garden?

You have my deepest sympathy and total admiration for announcing to the
world what a Prat you have been:-)
I agree with Sacha's comments and I do not think all is lost. The feed
bit of weed/feed will be fine. The weed bit if hosed off the leaves
should be OK-but you need to be quick.
I trust you will accept advice from an idiot who once filled his car
radiator with petrol.

Thanks for the sympathy and advice, am I to understand the the weed bit
only works on existing leaves? If so then as the seeds and spuds have not
yet started growing that I may be ok? I am afraid that hosing with lots
of water is not viable. :-) It is wet here this am, but not really
raining, just that horrible almost mist fine drizzle, enough to make it
not worthwhile to go for a walk in the Peak District as planned.

I do not know for sure because there are a few brands of "weed and feed".
Did this one contain a moss killer? You might get away with it even without
watering-but if I were you I would pray for torrential rain.
