Ok So I started my 4 cucumber plants a few months ago and theyve produced a ton of cucumbers! but now theyve started to wither and turn yellow. I'm about ready to pull them and start new ones.
Well anyway I just wanted to know if theyer just nearing the end of their life or if theres something else going on?

Happens to me all the time. In my experience it usually takes 3 months for them to yellow and start dying after they first start producing cukes.
Once that happens I pull the cuke plants out and start over (from seed), especially this time of year. And that's what I did a few weeks back. My seedlings have grown to 10+ inches and are growing well. Keep in mind I'm in Florida and it's hot all the way through Oct.

I'm gonna replant them today!
