Hmmm...Overall it looks like lack of moisture. Your soil does look sort of dry.
Can you do a soil test?
How old was the manure you applied? It may not be composted enough and is burning the plants.
Any bugs, grubs etc around?
The other plants/grass in the pics seem to be thriving.
I see you are in the south. I have heard lots of complaints due to the heat down there this year.

Harrylee where would I go to get a soil test?

Thanks

I am not real sure. I have pretty good luck with my soil so far. You may want to ask at the local farm store (TSC etc)....
I saw a test kit at Walmart here for about $15,,,,not sure all it tests though.

You could try Amazon, they sell a lot of things about gardening. Over here we have garden centres.

We have many garden centres here too....Trouble I find with them is I find they want twice the price for anything.

Yes you're right, it can be cheeper from Amazon but some of our supermarkets sell garden products as well these days, get my compost from them.

Same here. One of them last week were selling off comost last week as they don't want to store it I guess.....$1/bag.. I grabbed 10.
