Growing Cucumbers

Question

My cucumber has a white, scaley look in places on the vine. I noticed this started early. I did get some cucumbers, but they didn’t get a dark green like I thought they should. It is the first of July now and my plants are shrivelling up and dying. I live in Missouri and it has been in the 90’s. Do cucumbers grow all season, or does the heat cause them to die? It may be I water them too much. Is there a pH tester you would recommend?
