Veggies Flowering but Not Growing: Nutrient Deficiency

Small plants with early flowers = nutrient starvation, usually nitrogen. They're putting energy into reproduction before building structure.

Rescue Plan

• Apply composted manure or balanced organic fertilizer.
• Pinch off first flower clusters to redirect energy to growth.
• Don't over-fertilize—moderate feed, then reassess.

Chicken litter works fast but use sparingly.
