cucumber leaves are curling

Question

It’s rained hard in the afternoon for a couple days and my cucumber leaves are curling. What’s the cause? My dirt is mostly clay, I did not amend the soil before I planted the cucumbers. They looked pretty good until we started getting hard rains in the afternoons. It has been in the 90’s most days.

Answer 1

Heavy rain in poor draining soil can be a deadly combination for garden plants.
I would just wait and see if the plants will live.
Watch for signs of fungus or insects and treat with Neem Oil.
