I have raised around 100 seedlings and just planted some into a new garden bed 2 weeks ago. The older leaves were quite yellow when plants were transplanted while the newer growth is a nice dark green. I thought it might have been a magnesium deficiency so a spread some epsom salts on the surface of the soil a week ago without seeing any improvement.

I am confident it is not a watering issue as I have plants at the front of my house (ones in the images are at the back) which are doing very well and are getting the same treatment. Whatever it is, it seems to be happening across the whole garden bed.
The soil is this garden is new and quite sterile I imagine which definitely won't be helping but I was wondering if this yellowing has a more specific cause? Any advice would be most appreciated.
Excuse my finger in the last photo!
