wilting tomato plants, bell pepper plant leaves deformed. Strawberry plant leaves turning colors


Question
I live in oceanside, ca. and I bought a bonnie big boy hybrid indeterminate tomato plant on 6/18 and planted it deep.  Well, its grown like crazy but now some of the leaves are starting to curl sideways.  Also, I bought a bonnie sweet purple bell pepper plant on 6/19.  its leaves are also curling sideways, and some are deformed.  Both plants colors are good and are both blossoming. I had a few aphids on the plants a week and a half ago, so I went out and got some insecticidal soap, sprayed them that night and got rid of them. I haven't seen anymore since. I'm still spraying the plants every week though.  And my strawberry plant's leaves are turning red.  Some of the leaves were a bright yellow green color when I got it but they've gotten better. Help.  I have pictures if you need them.

Answer
Recommend that you spray pepper and tomatoes for mites. You have to spray the bottom part of the leaves. If you continue to have problems like this it could be that you have a fungus in the soil and roots. If the plants produce OK don't worry about it.

Strawberries sound like they do not have enough fertilizer.

Best wishes
