Bad Cucumber Disease

I have planted in my hoop house for two years with no serious problems. This year, as soon as I transplanted cucumber starts (in a new location), they were attacked by something. I thought it was an insect, though I could see none. Then immediately some kind of disease attacked the plants. I replanted with new, healthy starts, and the same thing happened.

I tried initially spraying with Neem and pyrethrins. No help. Then tried Serenade fungicide. No help. Here are photos of the plants that have survived (two weeks or so). Any ideas of what is happening? Note that all new growth has turned brown (died).

I think it is transplant shock! That is why I continually say plant cucumber and squash seed where it will grow. Give it some time and see if it will send out some new leaves. In the meantime plant some seed right out in full sunlight, and watch it overtake the transplants.

playing with your img code .......................

Weird, the url works OK, but for some reason the [img]tags are not working.

OK, I removed the last / on your url and then I got the little icon. If I right clicked that I got an option to open it in a new tab. Arrrrggggghhhh!

May I suggest Photoshop?
