HELP,

I am having problems with my Cucumbers and Bell Peppers. I had 10
healthy cucumber plants, they were flowering and gorgeous. all of a
sudden they began dying, never producing and "Fruit" as they were dying
I noticed some "Mold" appearing on the end of the plant as the leaves
close to the ground became yellow. I cannot find any evidence of any
"Bugs" or beetles, I've seen those in my past gardens. Any idea waht
caused the "mold" situation... I almost think plant rot of some kind.


In addition my Green peppers have been flowering but no production
there either. the leaves look like they are needing more water, kind of
all turned in like they are trying to "Catch " water. The plants are
still alive. Can they be saved? can they still produce " Fruit"?

Same problem with my Green beans.

I also have squash, zucchini and tomatoes...no problems yet.

Any suggestions??


Thanks....

Would help to know more about where they/re growing, how they/ve been cared
for, and what the weather has been.

The mold may be powdery mildew which is best controlled with fungicide
before it appears.

Peppers won/t set fruit if it/s been hot. Not much you can do about that
other than set the plants out earlier next year.

Upturned leaves suggest insects, aphids perhaps?

Y'all might consider for next year planting some banana peppers. Here in
blazing hot Texas (in the mid-ninetys for more than a month), we are
still picking them by the basketful. And my granddaughter, who is eight,
loves them, even straight out of the garden.

My dad had always harvested tons of peppers when the summer had been
hot and dry. These conditions were hard on the tomatoes but the peppers
liked it.
