If a plant isn't doing too well...I think it is time to take it out of its pot and do a little investigation of the roots. If in doubt take cuttings and start again!

Our veg wouldn’t win any beauty competitions either. I do laugh at what supermarkets dub to be wonky veg. We would call them perfect specimens.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
