| It won't stop raining. Would too much water produce symptoms that look like herbicide damage? New foliage coming off the one sucker that I let go looks gnarly with stunted curled foliage and stems? The stems are gummy and curled on the leader but the rest of the plant looks fine. I did spray the grass with bonide broad leaf killer, but that was a few weeks before I planted the garden almost two months ago. Also the garden is not close to where I sprayed and I am only seeing symptoms now after the garden has been in for a month. I wonder because the ivy that lines my grass area covering a rock wall was affected by the spray and the foliage of the ivy looked like this. Plus only one of my 8 plants is showing this and it's only on part of the plant. |

| It's also very unlikely that the neighbor sprayed. First because the location of the affected foliage is protected and not near to neighbors, and second because my closes neighbors would never spray their grass. Another one: |

| I'm seeing this on every one of my 14 plants. I'm not sure if it's 2,4-D or all the rain they've had. They are setting lots of fruit and they don't seem to be abnormally shaped or anything. |

| I was wondering the same thing about my father in laws plants. He has light green blotches/dark green, grey blotches on his stems. His leaves look ok on most of his plants but about 1/2 of them look weird. They look wrinkly, sort of. His neighbor could have applied a weed killer to his lawn, I don't know. I wish I could post a We live in southern NJ and we have been getting cool rainy weather here most of the spring. |

| No list of possible symptoms of overwatering? |
|
| That curling & twisting is herbicide damage. Likely 2,4-D. Could have been used anywhere in the vicinity, including down the block. |
