    I may be that the soil or manure was not composted down enough.
    I would treat the plants with Neem Oil. This works as both an insecticide and fungicide.
    It is safe for people, pets and bees.

    This can also be caused by damp conditions and lack of air flow.

    Make sure the soil is not over watered.
    I would remove any large amount of fungus that you can see. Likely with drier conditions and the Neem Oil your soil will improve.

    I am not sure as to the plant you are referring too, but it may likely be an effect of heat and to much moisture.

    This can happen for a variety of reasons depending on the plant and its location. Some of the most common reasons for brown leaves are a lack of light, too little water or humidity, too much heat or in some cases a pest or funugs may be to blame.

    I have listed a few articles to help you get started with the garden clean up.
    Annuals and spent vegetables plants can be removed and discarded.
    Perennials can be trimmed back for winter.

    Plants that need full sun will need 6 or more hours of sunlight.
    Shade plants will do better in the 3 to 4 hours you have.

    Also make sure the soil is adequate for growing plants and that they are receiving regular water.

    Here are some links for you.

    I'm not sure of the type of plant you are referring to.

    Buds that don't open or develop could be a few different issues.

    Lack of proper light, watering, pollination or as you mention to much Nitrogen.

    Also insects can cause buds to fall off or stop growing.

    If you suspect you over fertilized, you can add Phosphorous. Bone Meal is great way to do this.

    Digging, pulling and raking is necessary to remove the old roots and clean up the garden.

    It certainly can be a lot of work, but the more you remove the healthier the garden will be for the new plantings.
    Here is a link with more information.
