I'm a first time grower. In early May I started germinating my seeds and a few weeks later planted them in cups. At this point, I have transplanted them into the ground they've been in the ground for about 2 weeks. My plants are still only about 6" tall. I'm not sure how the soil is (there used to be grass but I ripped it up so I could plant). A few days ago I dug up 2 of the plants to add some extra compost to the hole to see if they'd grow more. I assume the awful northeast weather this summer with a lack of sunlight is contributing to such little growth.

Any more suggestions?

When can I expect a crop?

Is planting in the earth a bad idea? Should I move the plants into big buckets?

Thanks in advance!
