Debbie, when you write a post, scroll down and right below the text box is a green button that says "Upload an image". Click on that, select your picture and a line of gibberish enclosed in [square brackets] appears that is the code for your picture. Then click "Finished".

Have you given the plants any additional nutrients, like fertilizer yet? What you added is good for soil conditioning but not enough to grow on. IF you're wanting to go all organic, an excellent, high nitrogen amendment is alfalfa pellets. It's available as horse food from any local feed store. Dig a couple of cups of that into the soil around your plants, or make a "tea" (well, it's more like porridge) in a watering can, let it steep for a couple of hours and water it onto the plants. (don't use a watering can with a strainer on the spout)

You still will need more nutrients, vegetable plants grow fast and use a lot of nutrients and water to produce anything. So feed those babies a good organic fertilizer as well.
