First I tried cutting off all infected leaves and spraying with Garden Safe fungicide 3. It was back in 2 days. It is on the leaves, stems and fruit.It will not rub off the leaves like a fungus, but you can scrape it off the stem and it seems like it is thick and yellow.

The leaves are being shredded by something, it looks like caterpillar damage but I am out there a lot and not one caterpillar. I have treated for slugs repeatedly.

We have had a huge amount of rain almost every day for about 2 1/2 weeks. We used pine needles for mulch. the pumpkins and watermelon has some compost around them since planting. Everything was fertilized once with fish and seaweed.

When I showeed it to the worm's way guy, he said it looked like leaf damage from something and he said aphids because there were a couple by chance on that leaf. there are a few aphids in the garden but not on most of the affected leaves. Tonight I sprayed an organic insecticide, but there aren't hardly any insects.

I am really stumped, and am getting very worried that there isn't going to be any harvest from this garden. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You say "Cucumbers have whatever this is,the worst, then the squash, the watermelons and the pumpkins." but you don't tell us what "this" looks like. Please describe or post images.

You also wrote "The leaves are being shredded."

You show us only one leaf -- how many leaves are affected? If only one or several, it's not important. Could have been a one time thing. Could even be a mechanical tear.

I suggest you not spray until you find some critter for us to ID.

Even then, it's likely you won't need to spray.

Please give us more info and more images.

Thanks.
