i planted two groups of 15 seeds. they’re divided by a row. the first group was in the ‘old’ or existing part of my garden which has had compost and manure added over the last 4 years. the second group was in the ‘new’ part of my garden that was just tilled under this year, no manure or compost was added. the second group seems to be lacking nutrients? i’m concerned about the yellowing at the bottom as the first group is all nice and green. suggestions for fertilizer?
