why are my cucumber plants leaves turning yellow

Question

my cucumber plants are the only plants not flourishing in my garden. I turned the soil over in early spring, fertilized it and also added egg shells. They don’t seem to be growing and the leaves are turning yellowish brown and drying up. If mother nature doesn’t water them I do. ???

Answer 1

Yellow leaves usually indicates over or under watering. It can also be from insects, such as aphids or whiteflies, lack of sun, or disease. These articles should help:
