Hi,
So my cucumber plants are now taller than me and I have my first few cucumbers growing bigger, which is great,
However, slowly but surely each leaf (starting from the bottom) is turning yellowy and has holes in it. Once the leaf looks dead, i chop it off, but already the leaf above it has started dying. I'm worried that the leaf death will catch up with the new growth at the top of the plant!
I've attached pictures of the leaves, one pic shows the healthy growth at the top.
Things I do/done :
Water once a day, soil never dry
Sprayed with 'crawling bug' insecticide
They are grown in compost
I feed them once a week
Any help/advice would be great! Thanks
