My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

why isnt my garden growing?

17 years ago

this is my first time growing anything, I followed instructions for sfg to a tee and everything is kind of at a standstill. Carrots are an inch tall, beans are doing sort of ok, lettuce is at a standstill, tomatoes and eggplants are pretty much the same as when I transplanted them. What went wrong? Everything seemed to start out ok and now nothing. It gets tons of sun and I have been good about watering. I am so frustrated and sad about my garden. Any advice? TIA
