Not sure I know how to post a picture here, but I hope this will have a few pictures attached. Anyway, just wondering if anyone can shed light on this situation with my plants. They look pretty healthy, but since they were about 5 weeks old, it seems that the leaves and branches have sort of grown curled underward. It just doesn't look normal to me. Have had a few aphids on some plants, but not too many. I looked through some existing posts, but really didn't see anything that looked like this. Hopefully the pictures will be attached here. Thanks very much!

Grass sure looks nice, you put anything on it for weeds?

Plants look great to me! The "bunched" look right at the growth stem(s) is also happening to mine- they will straighten out once the branches get longer.

It's nitrogen overdose. It does happen if you're heavy feeding in the fast growing stages (so before fruits start to take on size).
They will straighten in the end, usually. |

They are fine (and very healthy looking!) Mine did the same thing last year. Don't worry.

Nema was alluding to synthetic auxin type herbicides like 2,4d and dicamba (weed b gone, spectracide), that either drift on application or are held amendments. ie compost, clippings, manure.
Can you rule all that out Southbound? I have no certainty on cause here. For sure it looks like something going on with apical dominance, or lack of. |

No, that just looks like the grass is nice, we have a yard full of weeds! No, I don't use herbicides or anything.

Thanks very much. I think you might be correct. I have possibly over-nitrogened. Thank yoiu!

Thanks very much. It seems to look like something that I have never seen. Hopefully will work itself out.
