Sounds like a calcium deficiency......i.e. tips may curl, brown/rust spots, etc.

Sound like under watering and heat to me,you'd be surprised how much water an outdoor plant needs,your roots could be 5 feet.And as sshz said it could be a deficiency and you need to feed your plants and there is really no need to let the water sit since its outside not too much damage the water can do.

Magnesium and calcium often go together. Synergistic. Epsom salts. Outside I would add maybe a teaspoon per gallon and mix well. Suggestions guys?

Epsom salts are for Mg. It dsesn't sound like an Mg deficiency to me so why add that? Now maybe cal/mag might be helpful to assure you are in balance with those nutes. Or you could add dolomitic lime, rock phosphate, gypsum or any good complete fertilizer. With pic's we should be able to nail it....

Does not appear to a calcium problem........spots would be different on leaves. They look nicely green. Some leaves have edges folded upward. Spots appear to be more purple. Let mre check.....

Photos 1 & 2 looks like a phosphorus deficiency to me. You can pick something up at a garden shop that will fix it. If it were me I'd use MG Bloom Booster 15-30-30 and it has a full mix of micro nutes, mixed 1 1/2 teaspoons/gal (much lower than posted on box). If you want to stay organic I'm sure there is something at the local garden center, just look for a N-P-K ratio of Low-High-Midish and try to get a full set of micro nutes included if possible.

I had this issue before...at first glance, it was like cal/mag or P def...or nutrients are locked out etc. But to have remember check and feel the temperature in the medium...root temp is very important too...

it can be water issue, for example...too much of water it will cause those leaves problem like yours...try start with light/heavy , it will should straight it out and stop the process leaves lost.

it s in the ground or container ? more details will be better, good luck.

happy growing.
