I bought some more plants and they wilted aswell.
Its seems to be some kinda fungal infection from a damp spring
possibly bacterial.

Ill give it one more go with new plants and soil and regular
insecticide/fungicide spraying.


Why are you buying plants? Cuke seed are up in 3 or 4 days when
planted in warm soil. A packet of seed for a buck, planted 6 or 8 to
the hill gives plenty of plants to cull from when the 3 set of leaves
appear. I leave 3 plants to the hill.
