We have two cuke plants together in a long rectangle container, planning to have them climb a bamboo grid when they get a bit bigger. They haven't flowered yet, but when I came home today, I saw that one of them had completely wilted. There are no beetles anywhere to be seen, and although there is some slight spotting that looks like pictures of mildew I found on the internet, the actual plant wilt I didn't see in many other pictures.
We are in north east Massachusetts, and had a VERY warm and dry May but then 2-3 days of rain and mid-40 degree weather for the beginning of June. Before the rain, we were watering daily and the plants get a good 8hrs of late morning thru evening sun.
Can you verify what is wrong? Is the withered plant salvageable or should I just pull it and hope the other can make it?
Thank you for your help!
