My new cucumber seedlings are growing nicely despite the heat being above optimal. The biggest problem they are having is the whiteflies. I went out the other day just before the storms got here from Irma and some of the leaves were pure white from the whiteflies. They are sucking the life out of some of the leaves and I have to keep removing them as they die. I am spraying them every few days to keep the whiteflies thinned but the wind the past few days has thinned them out on my cucumbers but I am sure they will be covered by tomorrow.
