What causes this? I have been watering them regularly, and gave them some fish fertilizer when I first planted. I have a couple of teeny tiny cukes forming and I'm afraid they won't make it to the table. Bottom leaves are not wilted, just yellow. I killed a cucumber beetle, could this be it? I don't see any others.

Hi, I sometimes have the yellow leaves as well. Just in case these are disease I always snap them off and disgard in the garbage ( never in the composter where it could spread disease). The only other thing I can think of is....how often are you watering? I know that cukes need to be watered 2x a day. Hope this helps

I've been watering every other day. That must be it. Thanks!
