I have similar rolled leaves on some of my plants. It is a varietal problem. Maybe those varieties are more sensitive to cold and moisture level. Also, those leaves happen to be the older lower ones, not the new growth. It is some form of manifestation of stress.

Light leaves can have different causes. The most common cause is nitrogen deficiency. Another cause can be too much water. In this case also nitrogen is washed down and/or diluted by excess water. So it is again nitrogen deficiency.

It might also be Mag. deficiency.

Yet another cause might be not enough light ; too much shade or too many cloudy days back to back.

Or any combination thereof.

What I do, in such cases , I feed the plant with liquid fertilized rich in nitrogen (recommended strength) , with a Tb spoon of Epsom salt per gallon of water and waits a few days an see what happens.JMO

Often "leaf roll" is caused by a physiological problem like over-watering. Check your soil with a moisture meter (they work good and are cheap).

That is the worst looking soil that I have ever seen. It looks as though you live on the Moon. How am I the only one who sees this?

If I were you, I would seriously amend or replace that soil. Maybe, I would only do this for a 2 ft. wide by 1.5 ft. deep planting hole, in which case, none of the filler would be that soil.

I agree that the soil is the pits. Looks like what we have here, which is solid clay. I always put good stuff in the planting hole (compost or aged manure), in addition we have been trying to improve the soil by adding a load of aged cow manure over the whole garden every year, It's impossible to dig it in, so the good stuff is on top, but the roots can go down into the clay, and use it as an anchor.

Hope this helps.

"I posted this in several places"

this is the soil at my community garden plot. It is horrible, and too large of an area to amend the entire thing. I am experimenting with cover crops and this fall I'm going to bring in a bunch of leaves and manure to try to lasagna some beds.

My plot is a total of 30 feet by 90 feet. Full of hard soil, and Johnson grass. I'm going to get a soil test done and can share the results if anyone is interested.

Thanks!

When I started gardening, I over mixed Sea 90 and watered my garden with it, it killed all the strawberries and damaged lots of plants.

Did your garden do okay the next year, or does it stick around?

The garden is fine now, but I rather not use any of those salt mineral products anymore except maybe for hydroponic. Especially due to the cost. It is my fault, but I am moving away from all the overpriced organic amendments I used to use and sticking with compost and mulching.
