Downy Mildew patches on our Cucumber leaves |
BED #4 with Cucumber vines in back (July 9th) |
Striped Cucumber Beetle |
June 15th Row Covers still on |
June 20th Row Covers removed on Beds #3 & #4 |
Cucumber seeds started indoors: May 1st
Cucumber seedlings planted outdoors: May 18th
Row Covers removed: June 20th (plants 7 weeks old)
Hopefully this extra time the plants had to grow and develop will allow them to withstand some beetles. I am going to be on the lookout because I read that the Striped Cucumber Beetle can transmit Bacterial Wilt, Squash Mosaic Virus and increase Powdery Mildew (which we already have on the Zucchini) and Black Rot. Yikes!!
