Vegetable Gardening

Cucumber disease?

10 years ago

Hi guys, I'm a first time gardener and super excited that my self-watering 5-gallon buckets are doing well growing my Korean cucumbers. (I'm such a city girl!!) The thing is I am seeing little holes in the leaves and some damage to them each morning. The other day I found some yellow egg sacs on the underside of some leaves the other day and got rid of them. I'm spraying them each morning with a baking soda+water combo but is there anythign else I can do?

Does anyone know exactly what is going on with them?
