Pumpkins, Squash & Gourds

Pumpkin (&corn) leaves yellowing

14 years ago

I have four raised beds in my back yard. In one of my beds I'm growing mostly pumpkins (with corn in-between the rows). The leaves of the pumpkins (& corn) in that bed are tuning yellow. The other pumpkins and vegetables in the other beds are staying a nice healthy looking dark green. Does anybody have any idea way just the vegetables in this bed having this issue. I can tell you that all the beds get the same amount of water (every other day)that the problem bed is the most densely planted and it probably gets a little more sun than the others due to its location

ammonium sulfate, blood meal made into a tea for a quick boost, alfalfa meal. did you fertilize the bed with a slow release fert before you planted?

For each bed I used a bag of Mircle grow garden soil and mixed it in with the existing dirt before planting. Can you recomend a brand of fertilizer that I can just pick up at my local garden store?
