Hi, Sandy, Oh, my, this is hard to hear. I am going to assume that the bed is in a place that get at least (but ideally more than) 6 hours of direct sun per day. Oddly enough, I was working on a project today about soil nutrients, which, despite what sounds like your ideal set up, could possibly have been missing. On this page (see link, next), N-P-K is addressed and it suggests that lack of potassium can lead to stunted growth: /content/npk-ratio-what-do-numbers-fertilizer-mean
Continue reading about calcium, magnesium, and sulfur.
And then there is pH (acidity) to consider. Even with the proper soil, improper pH values can hinder plant growth. See here: /content/preparing-soil-planting and then see the chart for all (common) plants here /content/soil-ph-levels
We hope this does not deter you from trying again next year! Let us know if we can help in any other way—
