Overall pale leaves is a classic sign of nitrogen deficiency; it could also be a pH problem which is making it hard for the plants to access minerals. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/nitrogen-plant-fertilizer.htm

You can also call the nearest botanical garden for information about contacting a master gardener group, who will help you with analysis and treatment.
