could someone explain to me why some leaves on my transplanted plants have already turned yellow? is it a sign of too much water?

Problem could be a lack of nitrogen. Usually low "N" levels will show by yellowing of the leaves. Done a soil test lately? Pumpkinpiper

Sprinkle a couple of teaspoons of Epsom salts around each plant and water (warm) thourghly. May be a Magnesium defiency and wont hurt the plant either way. What type of soil do you have? How much sun exposure lately???

Nitrogen level checked out ok,but it would make sense to get my soil checked.My soil is trucked in loam (from who knows where) with plenty of dehydrated cow manure added in.Plants get plenty of sun during the day.Will leaves pick up a disease if they stay in contact with the wet soil?I noticed that the leaves in question sat in moist soil and I'm wondering if I have some sort of disease instead of a soil defeicency.This is my second year trying with no luck last year(MONSTER Plant with all pumpkins aborting).Any info would help.

Monster plants with pumpkins aborting sounds like to much nitrogen, cut back on the nitrogen earlier this year. use some daconil to cut down on the fungi. chuck
