HI to all: i am new here, i have been gardening about 10 years now ,the problem i seem to be having is that my eggplants were doing fine last week than this week they decided to start turning pale yellow and they are wilting, they are planted in rich organic soil and are fed with fish emulsion and watered every other day when needed they have no signs of holes on the leaves i really don't know what to door what is happening to them .I live in zone6a in saylorsburg,Pennsylvania and my family and i grow a 1400 sq,ft garden. My other plants are doing fine, i do interplant with herbs and companion plant too,if anyone has any answers to my problem it would be helpful.

Hey Gardengal;The Problem is "the Rich Organic Soil" which is Not what you want for Eggplant.Dig up the ones that are still good and replant in non rich soil and they should recover.Also cut back on the fish Emulsion.Add bonemeal to the new bed.-
