I killed some of my cucumber seedlings yesterday. I thought they were well watered and they had been in the sun for a week so that shouldn't have been a problem; but when I checked them this morning some of them were totally wilted and I mean totally. After watering well and putting them in the shade most of them recovered except for a few leaves that just burned up. A few of them are showing no signs of recovery. I guess it is a good thing I waited to put them out in the garden til the next bout of rainy weather. I don't think I could have kept them alive in these 100 degree days. I hope it cools down a bit soon because they are about 6 inches tall and they will grow fast and become a big mess to handle if they get too long.
