Helping transplanted seedlings

Post: # 156349Post happyigloo »

Hi

I've just transplanted all my seedlings to my beds and a couple seem a bit worse for wear. I hardened them by using a cold frame.

Now there are one or two that look ill! Purple sprouting brocoli and tomatoes especially. Is there anything I can do to help them settle in? I was thinking liquid fertiliser or would that be a bit of shock to the system??

Any help and advice would be great.

Thanks

having realised i've got virtually a whole terrace of comfrey, i've been making a liquid feed and giving it to everything - i gave it to some tomatoes that got caught out by unseasonal weather in april and they are good strong plants now.

Thanks for the advice. A couple seem to have revived themselves a bit. Others not the best. Will try some liquid feed on friday I think.

Thanks very much again
