Quote from: "Oscar Too"
They don't like wet stems.  If you've been watering up to the stem it will die off.

Otherwise, might be mosaic virus - this starts on the leaves.  Or tobacco virus - do you smoke roll-ups in the greenhouse?


That's why I think mine have mostly succumed :cry:  -- even though they were Ridge Cucumbers and I put them on a ridge on my manure heap :!:

PS  :idea: Next time I will plant an empty pot beside the cucumber and water into it instead of on the plant.

I've found basil also gets stem rot from being to damp.Has anyone else noticed this? :)
