After our summer vegetable garden burnt up, I am afraid to plant my winter veggies. But I did a few weekends ago. Mostly radishes are up and some peas. The lettuce and carrots aren’t up and they should be. I am not sure what I did to the soil — maybe the urea and straw I put two years ago? Or is it too sunny or do I need to water twice a day?

Anyway, my daughter’s eggplant is still huge and we are still harvesting eggplants. She planted carrots and lettuce under it and they were up within days. My carrots did not come up!

Any ideas on what’s going on here? I need help!
