Is anything planted in there?

Yes, 3 tomatoes, a bell pepper, 2 jalapenos, and 2 habaneros.

Why do you say that? What’s it look like?

It's my first year trying to do a small garden. I built the 8'x4' raised bed (the width of 3 landscape timbers tall) probably a month or so ago and planted at that time.

I put what Clegg's calls a half-yard of raised bed mix and a couple bags extra plus about 10 bags of black kow in the bed and mixed the best I could.

Soon after planting, the tomatoes looked great and the peppers started getting what looked like nutrient burn based on pictures I've seen online. Fast forward to today and the peppers haven't grown any and the tomatoes hit a plateau. All the plants' leaves are turning yellow and falling off.

I say it's nutrient burn because I can't imagine what else it'd be, and I had a feeling in my gut that I put too much black kow. I also have a couple peppers in pots right next to the planter (planted at the same time), and I couldn't ask for prettier plants.
