Basil yellowy?

[Vicy]

Hi,

Ive planted some herbs (from seed) and they are now outside, but the sweet basil seems a little yellowy and I don't know that's normal or it's unhappy?

Looks like chlorosis. Have you fertilized them lately? With what?

Hi,

Never heard of that! I feed them once a week with basic plant food?

Chlorosis is when the total leaf turns yellow, usually from a nitrogen deficiency. What is your plant food and what is in it? NPK numbers?

Hi

It's just miracle grwo, back says
NPK 6-3-6 with trace elements?

My runner beans are starting to go a bit off too. Although they may be sick of thier leaves being munched which even though I net and add slug traps, I can't seem to stop.

IMO, you either have to change fertilizer or use more of what you have. I would change to anything besides a MG/Scotts product. Have you been getting a lot of rain or watering a lot?

Yes reading the back it says it's ready to pour, I've confused it with one you dilute!!!

I will use as directed.

A bit of both really. We've had a really muggy spell in Manchester-you get hot sunny days of 20 degrees mixed with heavy rain days of about 16 degrees. If I have more than 2 days of dry weather I go out and give everything some water.
