The fact that none of them were farmers, so they did not know how to grow their own food. Rations from Britain - on which they were completely dependent - often were late or insufficient.
There was a lot of food around where they lived and friendly Indians pointed it out to them. But the colonists did not trust it and starved so to speak in the midst of plenty.
