Hi and Welcome to The Garden Helper's Forum!!!
How wonderful to be able to plant already!!!
We had snow last night, all over the place!!!
Lucky you!!!
I'm throwing out some questions here and maybe we can get to the bottom of it!!
#1. What time of day did you put on the Miracle Grow and or Sevin Dust stuff??
#2. Was the soil watered previously to your adding the mentioned items????
#3. What else have you grown that's not effected and did you do the same things to them as well???
#4. The leaf you said shiveled up, and or burnt looking....
A. What color are the leaves
B. Which way are the leaves curling? Up or Under?
Let us know and someone will be through to help some more.....
Weezie
P.S. I'm going to move your post into an area where basically alot of our gardeners go into, and your question maybe read a little sooner and answered for you!!!

Hi Weezie & Jiffy....
Thanks so much for the welcome!! I wasn't sure how to reply to your questions, so I just posted a reply. Help me out if I am doing this wrong, k!! The answers to your questions are:
1.) I put the miracle grow on in the early morning, and the Sevin was put on at dusk.
2.) The miracle grow was mixed with water and the sevin is a powder you dust the plants with.
3.) We have also planted tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and lettuce. None of those are affected.
4.) The leaves are still green and they are shriveled downward.
I don't know if this info will help, but the soil here is basically clay. We turned the garden up, removed all the grass, added sand to the soil, mixed cow manure in and used top soil to actually plant in. Like I said..I am new at this, but my Husband was born and raised in Oklahoma and farmed all of his childhood with his parents. I'm sorry you haven't been able to plant yet..I'm really enjoying this. I just moved to Texas from Florida two months ago, and I never thought we'd get our garden in..it has rained here so much. Thanks again for your help!!

In addition to Weezie's post (Nikkal's diagnosis), check the sites below. It might also help you identify the cause of the problem.

Hi Weezie & Papito...
Thanks for the links of previous posts and info!! The difference between the Tomato Leaves and my Pepper and Green Beans Leaves is only my new growth seems to be affected. And it seems like it was the last set of new growth for now. The newest growth seems to be fine at this point. The only other thing I can come up with is this...I was using a weed killer several feet(at least 15ft or more) spraying along the fence line. Maybe it's possible some of that traveled through the air??? I'm skeptical about this being the cause because it has not affected alot of our other plants. I'm keeping a careful watch over the ones affected daily...hoping they will pull out of whatever's going on. Thanks for your help!!

Steph,
The only other thing I could think of is...
The manure???
Too fresh may burn the plants
*it effects the leaves when to ripe or too much maybe is the word*
or if where you got the manure from put something in to it (like some put in wood chips), it that was the case, the wood is too much for a garden.
It has to completely render down or break down before is should be used... steals nitrogen from the plants to break down...

I am new to this gardening thing, but I am enjoying every minute of it!! I just moved to Texas and we have planted a garden. All the plants were doing well until a few days ago. We noticed that some of our pepper and green bean plants have leaves starting to shrivel up..they almost look burnt by something. The only thing we have put on these plants is Sevin for the bugs and Miracle Grow for Vegetables. All the other plants (tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and onions) seem to be fine. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!!!
