Gosh, sure sounds like too much of a good thing. If you used liquid fertilizer you could give the planters a couple of really good waterings to flush some of it out. If it was a granular fertilizer, I'd get new potting soil and repot everything asap. Know this sounds like a lot of trouble but it's probably less expensive than replacing all of your plants. Since most wholesale nurseries fertilize before shipping to retailers, I suggest waiting a month after planting to fertilize and then using half the recommended strength. I sure hope this helps! ![[flower]](im/graemlins/flower.gif)

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intent of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming,
"WHOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!"

Search The Garden Helper:
Three days ago, I planted two cherry tomatoes, two jalapenos, mint, lantana, and basil.
I watered everyone and gave them a little food and now ALL of the leaves are turning brown or yellow around the edges and curling upward.
Did I feed them too much?
None of them appear to have bugs or mildew or anything like that.
I plant the same things every year and this has never happened before.
Thanks for any suggestions or ideas!
Take Care.
