This may seem like an obvious answer or a stupid question but never the less... After lots of googling it appears that I may of overwatered my patch.carrots wilting salad wilting everything just sad and limp apart from my sugar snap peas and peppers (all in all I have sugar snaps, toms, corn, peppers chive, chantenay carrots, red little gem and some mixed leaf)everything points to overwatering. I have raised beds only 1/2ft - 1ft above ground what should I do? We have forecast of sunny weather the next few days

Don't water today and see if they pick up I s'pose.
How much water have you given them? Its not that easy to over water plants in a raised bed....overwatering is usually associated with plants in pots that are watered then left to stand in water so the roots drown.
If it turns out that overwatering IS your problem, you will need to sort out the drainage of your bed but to be honest, I would be surprised if thats what it is. -
Did you plant out plants from pots / seed trays? Or were they direct sown? Do you have a picture?Comment

Salad leaves & brassica like partial shade & wilt if they have too much sun? Carrot leaves sometimes fall over? Tomato plants are sad looking whenever they're potted on or planted out for a couple of days,then they pick up again. Is there any fertiliser in the bed?Location : EssexComment

Jungle Jane - I picked up a liquid fertiliser which says to use once every week -2weeks and sulphate of ammonia which says to used 4weekly- raised bed is filled with verve multi compost and normal soil of that helps at allComment
