Default cuke problem

Simon Stenkle writes:

Simon I'm growing them outside in good soil. I live in the NE US so it has been
Simon extremely wet. However nothing else in the garden has been effected
Simon negatively by the weather. Cuke beetles probably aren't the problem as the
Simon leaves are not being eaten, but they are present in small numbers. I am
Simon growing poona kheera(an heirloom variety, and marketmore.

I believe cuke beetles carry a virus that causes problems
similar to yours. Radishs are supposed to repel the beetles,
and I have gotten an extra months growth of my cukes since
I surrounded them by unpicked radishes.

Not enough info. Where are you growing? Is it relatively hot, cold, wet,
dry, good soil, sand, clay, pots, buggy (evidence of cuke beetles?),
wilt-resistant seed? No doctor could diagnose "Well, he was fine until he
turned 25. Then he got sickly and died."

My cuke plants are dying. The grew nicely until they began to produce

cukes
and then they began to wilt and turn yellow and die. Any help would be
appreciated.
