Cucumber leaves? - July 25th, 2006 at 10:48 AM
Hello all,
I have 3 cucumber plants I started from seed this spring in a 3 gallon pot I filled with bagged "topsoil" from the local farm store. Plants sprouted and have been growing great for the past 2 months. They just started to get flowers a few days ago
Now my question- For the past week and half the leaves have been slowly getting yellow by the starting point(where they come out of the dirt) and slowly radiating out from the pot. The ones that were now closest to the root are dead and gone. Every day a few more that are next in line start to turn yellow. I can find no bugs on any side of the leaf or on vine. I tried cutting back on watering thinking maybe I was doing it to much but I still haven't gotten any different results.
Any thoughts? Oh yeah its the "Straight 8" style of cuke?
