Eggplant and Tomatoes with bad leaf curl, sick plants.
Hi, I planted about 6 tomatoes and 2 eggplants in my newly made garden. Also planted spaghetti squash and some pepper plants.
I bought 10 yards of premium garden formulated soil from local soil yard. Its contains some manure because every now and then I get a good wiff. Its nice dark soil with little sand and compost to make it very light and easy to work with. All 6 tomatoes and 2 eggplants are having leaf curl after 3 weeks, very thin - underdeveloped new growth. The leaves from the original transplants are hanging in there but any new growth is severely stunted and the entire plant is thinning quickly. Whats strange is my spaghetti squash is looking very healthy and happy, also transplants planted at same time. The peppers look about the same as I planted them, no new growth. What could this be? Im thinking... A) Virus B) 10 yards of soil mix is still too "hot" C) Herbacide in soil mix from manure D) Plants contained virus from nursury E) Over / under watering I live in San Antonio Texas, it has been pretty warm with normal swings in temp. Nothing lower than 60F in past three weeks. Please see attached pictures. |
