Rob -- Thanks, and I think your translation is correct.  We call is
bloodmeal here -- only a difference in spelling, eh?

Hi Matthew,

Yellow leaves normally indicates a shotage of magnesium.
Or they have 'wet feet', with this I mean that to much water and that the
soil don't get the time to dry.
The magnesium shortage you can solve by using... we call this 'bloedmeel'
and translated to english would be bloodflour, no idea if this is the
correct translation.. any one?
Or use a fertilizer with high Mg. concentrate.

hot regards
Rob NL

  Hi All --

  I have a little gardening issue....I plan to till this
  weekend and get my
  plants in also.  However, while watering my plants this
  morning I noticed
  that almost all of the leaves are sort of a pale
  green/yellow.  The plants
  are otherwise healthy -- strong, tall, and rapidly growing.
  Any ideas?
  Should I be worried about this?

  Also -- Atlanta-area CH's -- I have not forgotten about those
  of you that
  have requested plants.  I still anticipate having some to
  give away, but
  last week's rains have pushed me back about a week or so.
  Hopefully, I will
  have some to give away next week and then again another week
  or two after
  that.

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Matt
