I'd take a deep breath and calm down. Having a few dryish and disfigured leaves is normal. I guess it is possible that you have gotten a bit of herbicide overspray from a neighbor (happens all the time), and yes, perhaps you have some residual herbicide left over in your bed. Depends a lot on what kind of herbicide you used in that bed. Should you be worried? Not on the basis of anything I can see in your pictures.

Agree with Dan that you likely have some minor herbicide damage based on the photos and as he said it could easily be drift from neighbors or residual from what you used. No way to know. But another possible source for it is any organic matter you bought or hauled for the bed - compost or mulch specifically - as there have been increasing reports of residual contamination in public sources of either.

But what is in the photos is quite minor and nothing I would be concerned about at this point. As the plants mature, assuming there is no further contamination, they should do fine.

Thank you very much Dan, Dave.

I filed my raised bed with MiracleGro Garden Soil/MIracleGro Potting soil and Compost I brought from the City Public Works dept. So with what you say, may be Compost could be the issue. I did use a good amount of Compost in my bed.

Would you think it is safe to consume the vegetables from these plants knowing they have residual herbicide?

Aminopyralid contamination of compost is something that probably wouldn't happen with city compost, and I suspect the city compost people would be smart enough to avoid it. The way it happens is when farm animals eat foliage that has been treated with that chemical, and their manure is composted. City compost doesn't come from farm animals. If you had compost contaminated in that way, you wouldn't just be seeing a random deformed leaf. Your whole plant would be toast.

It is entirely safe to eat such vegetables. The amount of herbicide that ends up in the fruit is microscopic. You probably have more of it on your hands from things in your garden you've touched.

You said you put herbicide on that bed before you planted there. What was it? Might consider the lifetime of that compound.

Thank u very much.

I was putting Scotts Turf Builder (weed and feed) to control the weeds in my lawn.This I did before I put the Raised bed.

I do remember my neighbour using some lawn service to control weeds in his lawn. I forgot if I had established my raised bed by then.

Well, the Scott's Turf builder herbicides are 2-4 D and Mecoprop, I believe. They act on different weeds. 2-4 D is a suspected carcinogen, but it degrades pretty rapidly. Most of it will be gone in a month or two. Maybe a bit longer for Mecoprop. If you had that stuff in your bed I suspect the whole plant would be affected, not just a few leaves. In any case, if this is your problem, it'll be gone next year. I'd be careful about keeping that stuff well away from your garden beds, though.

I dont think it should be a concern, sometimes it just needs a bit more water when the whether is hot. If soil is dry add water. The hot whether sometimes causes leaves to dry out but the plant could still be fine, and if you snip the dead leaves, new ones can grow, but those leaves dont look dead. Dont cut them off as you should keep some leaves to ptorect tge fruit from over exposure to sun. Also sometimes insects eat tge leaves. But that doesnt seem to ruin the plant
