Hi everyone,

I have zero gardening knowledge but i will give u a quick insight to what I\'ve done, i recently cut in a border, dug up the turf, forked the soil & removed all the stones and roots, planted a variety of plants that were good for full sunlight and thrive in any soil, i planted them with a multi purpose compost but the trouble now is they are a week old and look like they are dying! Some leaves are turning brown, some heads are wilting & drying up. Are these plants just establishing themselves or could it be the heat? I dont think im over watering them but any advice would be hugely appreciated! Thank you all
