What’s Going On?
Is this some insect, nutritional defect, or fungus? Or, some alien hieroglyphic that I need to interpret? Whatever, it seems to be all over my garden. Cucumber 1 (Bushy):
Cucumber 2 (A&C Pickling):
Cucumber 3 (Japanese Climbing):
Japanese Melon:
Patty Pan Squash:
Yellow and Green Bean:
Even the Nasturtium!
These plants are in different soils in different areas, albeit a few feet to three yards away from one another. I pulled out the bean plant as it just looked awful. I gave plant food and more watering for the cucumbers and melon and the newer leaves look better, and I cut off a ton of squash leaves, most of which were covered in white spotty mold. Your advice is welcome! Thanks for reading. – Kaye

I’m not sure what that is. I have never fed my squash, pumkins, or zukes, and they always come out pretty good. They are in a parched area with no compost added, that gets full sun, and I only water when they are drooping to the ground. Good luck!
Where are you again? Maybe it’s my climate, maybe I’m watering too much. I have added some plant food with nitrogen per a blogger, so I hope that helps! Thanks for writing! – Kaye
We are in zone 5 on the IL/IA border. The weather has been in the mid to upper 90’s every day with very little rain. Maybe less water would help…good luck!
Wow, that’s hot, and dry. I’ll have to reduce the water! Thanks!
