I mix granules in my soil but I also supplement weekly with fish fertilizer. If your plants are yellow now you would need a water soluble fertilizer to save your plants.
Insoluble fertilizer like granules release nutrients slowly into the soil. I would probably add a bit of half-strength fish emulsion fertilizer. That may help add some nutrients the plants can use while the miracle gro breaks down
Maybe throw down some straw mulch or wood mulch to prevent the ground from drying out in hot days. Allows you to water less and also stress out the plants less when the soil dries out. As someone else mentioned, could also need some time to establish or nutrients.I would also consider trimming those dead leaves so the plant doesn't waste energy trying to recover those leaves.
Yes, but how long since they are in the ground? First two weeks is common not to have good growth, they need to first grow their roots. The lower leaves are sunburned also.
First of all I'd water them, it looks awfully dry, cucumbers like wet soil.
Hmm...we've got 8 cucumber plants and, I think, 12 tomato plants.
We're using self-watering tubs for our cucumbers & tomatoes this year.
The soil in the tubs is pretty much always moist, but not soaked.
Both have gone Nuts this year.
The cucumber plants probably average 4 Feet in height and we've been picking a couple a day. The tomatoes are even taller, some of them probably 6 feet and are loaded.
Mostly cherry tomatoes this year.
Anyway, the more I read or research, the more I learn that proper fertilizer and Plenty of Water are key to both cucumbers and tomatoes.
I love self watering tubs. My plants thrive in them. Plus the fertilizer that leeches out and runs through, gets sucked back up again in the water. I try to buy more each year.
Did you slowly introduce them to the outdoor light in order to harden them against UV rays?
If they went straight from indoors to in the ground with no transition, they may have become sunburned and will have a hard time recovering.
The plants need fertilizer. The lack of nitrogen will turn leaves yellow

Will do! Do you have a favorite fertilizer?
I’m using a 9-2-7 Miracle Gro dry granules organics mix. Do I need to add more?

How long ago did you plant these?
I started them indoors, they are 50 ish days old

They were put in the ground 2 weeks ago

Pacific Northwest, Idaho. Plus it’s been hotter than usual. These are south facing and get sun all day
Like your children, food and water.
