It would be easier to help if you had a picture of the plants.

Ok so this one I think I damaged it others looking not too bad now

Celery spearmint silver beat and the looking good.

Strawberries and tomatoes are not flowering ( the front 2 tomatoes will probably die due to a 2 year old pulling them out)

Basically should I be adding any thing to them to help them out or are they looking ok????

My guess is that may be the issue. Are your temps still cold down there in the south?

Usually the pelletised feed in pet stores dont have all the benificial nutrients and protiens required for optimum fish and plant growth.

Even the pelletised feed sold as "Commercial grade" Barra or Trout feed from certain places is complete shite!... To the unseasoned eye it looks similar to Skrettings and other major brands, but it's usually a bit paler and not as oily. The protein content is usually much lower and it looks full of bran/fillers etc, so I'd imagine the nutrient content would also be much lower. The stuff City Farmers flogs is a prime example, a year or two back I started some fish on it and both the plant and fish growth were disappointing, started feeding Skrettings after a couple of months and things picked up considerably.
