Good point. I run a few stakes in around the hoophouse so a windy day does not end my season. Good thing because it was very windy here yesterday and if I did not,my plants would have been across the street.

Be patient. It does take a while for the root system to develop. That happens with lawns too. That is why there is seed starter ferts for new grass. To develop the root system prior to growing the green. Takes "P", then the nitrogen kicks in. I never have had problems with these things growing in June. 1-2' a day easliy on the main.
