These plants were subject to a unusual amount of rain ( along with irrigation) and a whole
lot of wind. They had no new growth coming and were quite yellow. Also some of the

leaves
had been eaten in a lace like manner. Not sure if that is related.


Sounds like they had been weather damaged, and possibly also fed upon
by cucumber beetles or earwigs. Starting over would be a wise decision.
