What is on the other side of the fence that container is up against?
Most of the affected foliage seems to be against the fence...right? |

Thanks for the reply
The damanage is just about the whole plant.There is nothing except a ditch & street on the other side of the fence. |

One thing I'm thinking...is there a possibility that some sort of herbicide has been sprayed in/around the ditch. The sudden onset/pattern of damage looks like herbicide drift.
Other items to look for...over water (can be as bad or worse than under watering), nutrient deficiency (what is the soil mix in the containers)... |
