Something is hampering veg growth?
I have been growing veg and flowers for as long as I remember. And their management as a groundsmen of an estate. I have over the last couple years I have noticed something, but not being able to put my finger on what that is. Plants struggling to take hold. Mature plants just giving up the ghost. Plants not putting on healthy growth in prime conditions. In the estate there are many ornamental shrubs biannual and perennials. The biennials would be prolific self seeders. This year it has been so noticeable that biennials have not grown. The perennials seem stressed where grow has been weak. This has also noticeable in the allotment and the orchard. The apple and pears are carrying 70% less fruit this year. Early veg has been weedy. On the estate there watering systems so it not down water stress. This is well drawn water I would add. It feels like there is some changing and I don’t buy the climate crisis. Is anyone else noticing similar issues???

I grow stuff at home, this year I've sown 3 lots of seed that simply didn't germinate and everything bar the mange tout are slow as you like to get going .......... things have improved over the last week but that's mostly in stuff under plastic . . . . . .
