I'm INFECTED-Cucumber Mosiac Virus

Tags: cucumbers , vegetables
I went home at lunch today, which I rarely do, and checked my sad cucumber vines. They are getting all mottled, now. Mildew? No, A Virus? Googled cucumber viruses and there it was! That's the problem with my squash, too. They're planted in the same bed. AND this virus can also affect, Tomatoes, petunias, snapdragons, canteloupe, gladiolas, AND I HAVE ALL OF THOSE planted within 10 feet of the cucumber bed!! I have to disinfect my pruners, and my tools and wash every thing near them! Ripping it all out this pm, including the mulch. Putting in bags and putting in the dumpster. Gonna have to start over. This was my worst year ever for cucumbers! I'll be really sick if this spreads to everything else! I walk in the garden and brush against these plants, and then go to another bed, and do the same thing, and the cats and dog are in the gardens and brushing up against every plant! Ug!
