Where I planted my transplants a long time ago, I have yellow leaves that turn brown on the edges, and adventually die. I have noticed people cut off dead ones, maybe this is normal? Happening to all 5 plants, seems to be increasing, or spreading. I do not see powery mildew or bugs, I even looked inside of a leaf stalk. Do I have a fertilizer problem? I used 15-30-15 a week ago, I am also spreading compost. I have 12-24-24. Should I put that on?

I'm pretty new to this. But as far as I know the reason for yellow leaves is often one of two things: 1)little water. 2)little Nitrogen.
But as I said, I'm new, get a second, and a third, opinion:)

Thats normal old leaves die and the rest of the leaves will fill out. I wouldnt worry a bit just a cycle of life.

Cycle of life, but also a micronutrient deficiency. More than like your Iron may be lacking. It should work through it with watering.
