Hi,

Can anybody suggest what might be wrong with my cucumbers? The leaves
have gone very speckled yellow and are now curling up, going brown and
dying.

Small photo attached.

Steve--thanks for posting that photo. My zucchini have the same problem...I
have harvested only about seven fruits, and now there seem to be no more
female flowers. This was from fresh seed from the package.

I tried to take a pic, got several shots, only to find that the memory card
is shot...and no longer being made...time for a new camera, I guess!

Thanks again,
Deb

Nutrient deficiency, possibly K.

Were you plants fertilized?

Pot Oxide ( according to the label))

'Fertilzed' was a rather imprecise way to refer to feeding.

Spider mites can cause leaves to look that way, too.
