The problems faced by the English colonists at Jamestown included:

1. The location of the colony made life difficult for the settlers.
2. The settlers believed that farming was beneath them, so they did not plant crops for the winter.

The issues regarding indentured servants and vulnerability to Spanish attack were not primary problems during the early years of Jamestown. The location's challenges primarily included swampy conditions and poor water supply, while the reluctance to farm significantly impacted their food supply.
