this morning when i checked the plants, i noticed that yet another plant has developed a problem.the new leaf has wilt around the very outside edge and is curling. one of the other plants is recovering from this.i may have over watered.can someone out there in pumpkin land tell me if this sounds fatal,or worse yet contagious!

Guys,
Dont worry too much about the first true leaf being a little bit mis-shapen, happened to me many a times. When you should get worried is when you hit second, and third and fourth true leaves. If it hasn't fixed itself after the 3rd or 4th true leaf, you may have a problem, and if you have a healthy plant, deformed leaves may not be a problem anyway.
