Im in Adelaide, and have planted some garden pea sprouts into a newly constructed raised garden bed. The soil is top quality, they are in an optimum position for sun all day, and the weather has been very forgiving with good sun and light rains, yet my pea sprouts are dying. I am not overwatering and the soil was brand new when i planted them, i also gave a light sprinkling of seasol about 3 weeks after planting to try to revive them, but they are just turning yellow and dying. What can i do? Im quite new to gardening.

Garry: dig over a trench about a spade wide & deep. mix in some compost (if you have any) add some potash (or wood ash), make a groove about 50 mm deep and 100mm wide. sprinkle peas in the groove and cover, tamp down gently. water well. Keep moist not wet. Now is about the time to get the first crop in (depending on the variety 50 seeds feeds a family of 4, twice a week) put the next crop in, in about 3-4 weeks. My first crop is swimming at the moment :(

Wayne, the critical factor about frost is whether the ground is frozen. If not, you can plant and use frost cloth or even newspaper to keep your plants warm at night. Sunshine will damage the plant cells if they heat too quickly from frosting.

I've got heaps of seedlings in the ground. I put them all in the last 4 weeks, for May, and nothing is growing....not sure why? Anyone else had this problem? I have never had this prob before. This is a first. I think it's the bizarre weather we are having.
