saved the lot by fostering them out to family members window sills and all
but one have returned to vibrant green.
Compost was normal
slug damage high
weather has been good/ warm since behind glass
poly tunnel was a 450mm high medium sized type
Enlightendment needed, .. even ideas on what might be wrong
thanks in advance
Too much sun, I think. I tried tried something similar this winter and
they weren't pleased. I brought them back in until there was enough
shade outside. My neighbor puts them out in full sun every year and they
all get sunburned until we convince him to put them in the shade.
HTH,
