Hello all :lol:
I'm at work right now (working hard, as you see!), so I can't provide a picture until tonight, but I am growing cucumbers, zucchini, and watermelon. That's probably a bad idea because they are all related, but whatever. I've been putting minced garlic around the plants and rubbing it on the leaves and it has actually worked really well at keeping the cucumber beetles away.
But now on one of my cucumber plants (the biggest one, ironically!) the roots at the very top near the surface are kind of becoming exposed and they appear to be rotting or being eaten by something. I have searched all over Google and I can't find anything that sounds like this. I'm not sure whether it's bacterial, viral, a fungus, or caused by insects. Any ideas as to what it might be? Again, I'll post a picture ASAP as it will probably help a lot!
Thanks guys!
Cody
