| Last time I posted, I had issues with my cucumbers that I started from seed. Sadly they did not make it! So I started anew and recently direct-seeded into the garden and so far so good. I also saw a lovely cucumber plant for sale at HD so I picked one up at a good price. I planted it about 3 weeks ago and although it was doing well, it recently started having some yellowing in the leaves. I'm thinking it maybe sun scorch and/or not enough water but I'm really uncertain. They are planted in a rich soil so I didn't think they'd have so much trouble! What can I do to help my little plant along? |

| Looks OK to me. I wouldn't sweat a few little spots. Watch out for stem fungus / damping off. That seems to be much more dangerous to cucumbers, at least in my experience. |

| I have attached some close-up pictures! The cucumbers are "bush champions" fyi. gosalsk - thanks for your words. I suppose the best way to avoid fungus is avoiding excess moisture? |

| The yellowing on the edges are just some drying out in the sun. Probably they were not used to so much sun when you planted them. I wouldn't be concerned. |
