    Default Cucumber help

    Can someone explain to me what's going on with mine and how I can fix it? Cucumbers are the one plant that I have bad luck with.

    Bugs can spread disease. but that looks like bacterial wilt?

    Plant them in direct sunlight with a little black cow somewhere where they can grow up on a fence. You’ll have cucumbers coming out your ears.

    cucs need to climb. I suspect that it's related to moisture

    You're going to think I'm crazy, but mix up 1 teaspoon of peroxide per 1 cup of water and spray on the leaves. Do it 1 time per week until you see a difference.

    Thanks, I thought it might be too much water or bacteria. I'm going to try the peroxide thing and next year I've already made plans to do them like my beans on a fence.

    I've only had a garden for about 3 years, but I find it really hard to over water a cucumber plant. I literally water mine about every other day but they are in red clay, so that might mean something. Tomatoes can get too much water and they'll start looking bad so I only water those about once a week. This is the first year I've had my cucumbers on a trellis and other than not having to dig for the cucumbers, I really haven't noticed any other pros to having one. But again, I'm no pro like some of these guys are.

    Looks like a severe case of Downey Mildew. Maybe to far along, but a copper fungicide spray will get it if it's caught early.
