Cucumber plant kaput due to the disease

Yup, just a few last immature cucumbers on there that might make it or might not.  The leaves of the entire plant are crispy and diseased.  Oh well, at least there was a good harvest.

2020 will be the year of plant viruses/diseases; insects not too bad this year

Or maybe it's because I'm not spending endless hours poring over all the winter squash etc. looking for vine borer eggs the way I was last year. (This year I'm not looking at the winter squash whatsoever for SVB eggs; the ronde de nice I'm doing brief inspections; the zucchini I'm looking at more closely but not obsessively (and yes have found quite a few eggs -- no larvae yet).

 

Still, I don't remember leaves of so many things last year having so many issues. disease

"Cucumber Yellow Vein Virus" or a Mosaic Virus -- I'm pretty sure this is what must be affecting my plants

Learned about Cucumber Yellow Vein Virus today from a post on the edible gardens group.

 

Quite sure this is at least what's affecting my cucumbers and maybe some of my other various plant issues.

 

Note to self for next year, these are the things that seem to be unaffected by this/these diseases:

 

NOT affected:

chard

broccoli

lettuce

celery

parsley

basil

zucchini

ronde de nice

carrots

beets

asparagus

zinnias

potatoes

 

AFFECTED, from worst to less bad:

 

bean* (especially west wall variety -- all of its leaves have by now dried up and crumbled away, plant did not grow to full potential)

cucumber (leaves looking bad now, but I had a good harvest, so all isn't lost)

winter squash (vertical plants worse than central bed, so far)

ground cherry (I predict leaves will start looking quite bad within a few weeks, but, I had a great harvest, so all isn't lost)

tomato (leaves starting to look badly affected by something, but might be a different issue -- anyway I had a great harvest, so all isn't lost)

sunflower* (they're all flowering nicely, and hopefully will produce mature seeds, TBD)

 

The beans and sunflowers might be a different issue, as their leaves look rusty.
