Probably a Nitrogen deficiency add some manure, blood meal or used coffee grounds to your soil.
Though, it's wise to add something with a high Carbon to Nitrogen ratio as well. (the three ammendments above are known as "greens" and have a C:N ratio closer to or below 1.) Anyway; leaves, if you don't have a dog or any neighbourhood dogs cocoa been hulls, straw and other ammendments are good.
Don't use peat moss. It's not good stuff to use.. I should really start a sticky on peat moss because I've typed about it at least once already today.
Anyway, the harvesting of peat from peat bogs is destroying that ecosystem. Furthermore, peat contains little to no avaliable nutrients for plants, and it is virtually impossible to wet all the way through.
