Hello all I planted a ton of cucumbers this year as I normaly do but unlike noramly hardly got a cuke !! I hear that thier was an air born virus traviling in southern Ontario canada this year that caused this ? My cucumbers started off fine but the vines quickly yellowed and sriveled way befor they should have and the cukes that they did produce were small twisted mutalated and not much good at all. I am wondering if any one eles here had simmilar problems or if they could give me more infromation on this virus ? This also affected my pumkin and squash crops as well.
