cucumber trouble

[neilt]

my cucymbers seem to grow to a certain size and then wilt to nothing and I'm not sure why...

Looks like they need water.

mine did that, at least look like that. But, it's been raining here quite a bit (just these last couple of days have been decent). I lost 3 of 4 cukes. And I'm surprised the one is still there and growing.

My thoughts are that it just hasn't been warm enough for me.

I got my cuke from my Aunt's greenhouses already started. It looked great when I started it, and it still looks healthy, but it hasn't hardly done A THING in the past month. Same thing with my squash. But its been really rainy and cloudy here and I think that may have something to do with it? Maybe you're having the same thing?

A couple of things...

1. Looks like it's dry there. Water an issue?

2. What type of soil are they in? For me, I relate my soil to brownie mix. Perhaps add some peat moss, some mushroom compost, sand and top soil to amend that a bit.

3. Are they in direct sunlight?
