Leggy Plants

I planted a variety of vegatables this spring and many are growing tall and leggy. The spinach, brocoli, lettuce and eggplant have not thicken up. We have had a very wet season so far and moderate temperatures. What is wrong and what should I do?

Dunhour, Welcome to the Forum from California! $glad you\'re here$ Leggy plants are usually caused by a lack of sunshine. How many hours a day do they receive good sunlight?

I over crowded some tomato and pepper plants and they became leggy with almost no fruit. These were planted in a sunny spot but the over crowding constricted the sunlight and air circulation. The plastic fence kept the squirrels out but I think it also blocked the sunlight.
