My leaves are dieing and my vines are splitting. I had cucumber beetles, but now they are gone. The leaves keep dieing one after another. Do I have a vine borer? Also, the dieing vines have a yellow/brown mushy stuff coming out of them. All fruits have died so far. Any suggestions on whats going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I will try and post a picture.

ksquared,

Sounds like your problem could be caused by a fungus.(Could be a fungus amongus!) Also sounds like the possibility of gummy stem blight. If you have a copy of Don Langevin's book, look these up under "diseases", if not try to contact your local extension agent. They should be able to help in diagnosis and treatment, it's their JOB!
