I don't know if I've done something wrong, not enough of something right, or it's the rainy, humid, insufferable 90-100 degree heat. But my healthy, thriving little garden has taken a sudden turn for the worst. I've tried to research online in hopes of identifying plant diseases and the options for prevention/treatment, but it's so darned confusing. Diseased leaves all look alike to me!
These are leaves on my tomato plants. I'm not even sure I should cut them off. My ignorance when it comes to diseases knows no bounds!
Below is my cucumber. It was so beautiful, healthy, and unbelievably productive. Then wham!
No idea why, what to do, or if there's even hope.
My squash is right next to the cucumber. Except for a few bottoms leaves, it looks great, but I cannot believe the speed with which “good” turns to disaster! Will it get whatever the cucumber has?
Lastly, I planted new-to-me bush beans which didn't seem productive and didn't stand up but I didn't know if that was normal. I was taking a closer look at one plant when the stem just snapped off for no good reason. There seems to be an issue with all the stems about 4 inches up from the soil. They just look weird. The plants aren't dying, just limping along.
I have no sense of direction. Should I pull up my cucumbers and beans and plant something in their place? Is the cause of the disease in the soil waiting to affect anything else I might plant there? I have serious limitations when it comes to changing the weather, but otherwise I'm willing and able if only I knew what the heck to do. This is my first attempt at uploading photos so I hope they aren't huge and irritating! Any experience or
knowledge shared will be so so so appreciated!
