Title for Diary - "You don't want this happening in your patch." :)

Well, I decided to start a diary to show my plight. I'm a bit embarrassed about my patch but I want to provide some info for other new growers. This is year 2 for me - and last year was cut short by vine borers - more on that later...
So, I have lots of problems and I'll start with this leaf shot. I recently fertilized with MKP at 1tsp/gallon sprayed over the patch - about 300 sq. ft. It triggered some toxicity, but more likely a deficiency since my research shows that this might be an iron uptake problem.

No, I don't have a soil test... And yes, I'm getting one right away. :)

Notice the chlorosis forming next to the veins, and the burning along the leaf fringe. This is occurring on new growth, and older leaves look fine.
