Cucumber plant not doing so well

9 years ago
My cucumber plant lately has started wilting, it's leaves yellow around the corner, then brown, then the leaves dry and im forced to removed them with scissor. I am not sure, but I think it stopped growing like it used to. Can anyone help? I dont have any pests, I just added egg shells and coffee grounds fertilizer yesterday night, hoping it would help. Also it produced fruit. I saw 1 cucumber( pictured in the link below). I also have powdery mildew, would that be causing the wilting? I bought a treatment and i'm going to be using it on thursday.
