What did you do in the garden today?

If it is rust or leaf curl try actinovate. Full sun helps too. If it is crispy there are some insects that maybe at fault or even accidentally being splashed with water and sun burnt. Sometimes the simplest answer is the most over looked.

Last years strawberries

In perspective this years are growing underneath it.
My artichoke

Snap peas coming up behind it.
Sunshine blue blueberry also with snap peas

Almost forgot. Boss has taken up root in these two boxes as well.
My pomegranate, nicely pruned on the bottom by the lorps lol.

Parsley is getting nice and lush too.

fun.... one of my wild strawberries started to bud today. I am excited... last nights frost didn't bother anything at all

Your soil is too Alkaline. Blueberries like 5.5 - 6.5 for pH. Every whole number change represents a factor of 10 in relation to the number before or after it. So, 6.5 is 20 times more acidic than 7.5. I'm guessing that's what most of your problem is. Did they have those brown leaves before you transplanted them into your soil?

We grow lots of blueberries here because the native soils are acidic; high bush and low bush blueberries. Even my kids can spot a blueberry a mile away. lol Distinctive formation of the bush and the leaves are true to type and usually become a lovely crimson to dark red in the fall, making for a lovely bush all year round.

Yeah they sure are lovely in the fall ( the wild one just look amazing here )

Sorry I should have been clear-- I only have the wild ones. lol Years ago I tried to plant cultivated ones but they didnt grow in the new "soil" around the foundation of the house. THis was material brought in, a sandy materia ltrucked in. I added bags of peat but apparenly it was not enough along with too much tree cover. I see the wild bushes in sunnier locations. Even if the canopy is closed enough light filters in to grow a poor specimen.

Yes a lovely plant year round, even when bare in the winter it represents the hope of spring and fruit.

I began removing patches of straw I used to mulch my flowerbeds over winter. I discovered the Monarda I planted last Fall not only survived, but is putting on new growth. Also pounded back into the ground some of the edging that heaved with the frost this winter. Every year, I have to do that, because it heaves out of the ground. I have a bunch of new plants on order from my favorite nursery catalogs.Growing season here is too short for veggies, so I just do flowers.

Any way you can extend the season with cold frames, hoop houses, row covers, ...? Fresh veggies are just too good!

Have you transplanted the Wild ones into your yard?

I do all those up here in zone 3, I have a few other frost conquring tricks too...
As little as 60 frost free days a year sometimes less and myself and many here grow tons of veggies... I even grow some rather exotic stuff.... For me it's totally worth it, nothing beats homegrown veggies and fruits!
And the home canning! Oh so dang good!!
