What is wrong with these cukes?

[Matthew Reed]

These cukes are not growing as well as I would like. They have some
yellowing, and the edges of the leaves seem to be yellow. There does not
seem to be any insect problems at this time, they have been fertilized, I
think they are getting enough water. Does this pic look familiar to anyone?
Could it be the variety is not happy here? I have other cukes of a different
type growing fine.

They look better than mine and mine have been growing cukes like crazy. Give
them more time.

Mine are just now starting to bloom, waiting to see how they produce. OK, I
sit and wait and watch :)

You may have answered your own question. Cukes are vulnerable to a number of
fungal nasties, although it's usually a dusty appearance to the leaves. It
can vary with the variety you plant, and may not happen in some years.

Look OK to me. No powdery mildew. No angular leaf spot. Minor beetle
damage.

Not everything in the garden will look like it does in the seed catalog.
