I have a new garden and all of a sudden this has happened to my cukes. Please take a look at my picture and let me know what you think is wrong. I have been watering at night but someone told me to water in the morning. I have no idea what I am doing so any help would be great. The leaves feel dried out, but I have been watering so I don't understand. Thanks again. Attachments:   |

To me, it appears to be sunburn. I get it on my spinach, chard, and other greens when there are sunny days followed by cloudy weeks. This happens here a lot this time of year. I wonder also if they are transplants taken out of a shaded house or facility at the nursery or store and suddenly thrust in to sunlight. I've had peppers do this also. Solution: I put a shingle on the sun side or create an angle shade with two shingles pushed into the ground to provide some shade during the hottest part of the day. As they toughen up, I remove the shade. Fritz |
