Good evening folks. I have seedlings that I have transplanted few weeks ago. I just can't believe that I couldn't see huge difference in growth as compared to weeds seedlings. They are very fast. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

I am missing something. Are you complaining that the weeds grow faster than what ever you planted? If so it could be because you did not transplant the weeds and they suffered no shock or check in their growth. Also I plant a lot of seeds of plants that are not fast growers. Most weeds are in a hurry to mature and set seed before some gardener hoes them out. Al

Ah, maybe, it's the transplanting shock that is affecting the growth. I don't see any signs of wilting though. I'll just wait then. I will also apply liquid fertilizer today and it's going to be their first time to have a drink of fertilizer. Hopefully, it help them.

Thanks.

We call weeds weeds because they mature so darned fast ;) If they don't get big and tall and in our plants' way (and readily reseed so much), we wouldn't call them weeds!
