Water - Too Much or Too Little
Comments (7)The grass around your cuke is taking up a lot of water too. The cucumber would get more water if the grass weren't there, and if the soil was mulched.

Comments (4)Out of eight planted, three went brown over the summer, the others did fine. New growth and flowers as they should have.
