This page helps you troubleshoot problems with your vegetables. If you grow edibles long enough, you're bound to run into some problems. Many these problems can be avoided (or at least overcome) with proper cultivation techniques.
My garden has been in the ground for five weeks now. All the new leaves on the plants are curled up. I have tomatoes, peppers, squash. and cucumbers. What is this?

I planted my garden last night and watered it this morning and I came home and all my plants are slumped over, what do I do? Or what is going on?

I think we need more info...What were the plants? What was the temperature? How much water? Are they in sun or shade? Did you use any fertilizer? Could be you over watered them. Do they have good drainage? Are they in beds or in the ground?
My garden is not doing so well. The leaves are dying or turning yellow. Some of the seeds I planted are not growing. I am not sure what to do. Can you help? This is my first garden. Thanks.

How did you prepare the soil? It may be a soil ph problem. If you can get the ph tested (there are kits available at garden centers), you can adjust the acidity or alkalinity with safe ingredients. If you add organic matter (compost), make sure it is fully "cooked" before adding it. Don't add sawdust.
There are two things you need to do. Visit the local extension office and talk to your neighbors that garden. If your neighbors don't garden visit the neighbors of friends or relatives that have gardens. You need someone you can call when you need information that is willing to help you.
