Lemon Cucumber help

[LeslieStews]

I am very new to gardening and my lemon cucumber plant is, seemingly, dying. It's still got cukes and flowers but in the last two days the leaves have changed quite a bit. I can't pinpoint what may be causing it. I am in zone 8a if that's something to be taken into accout. I'd love to save the plant, but if it's a lost cause I will go buy another. Any help is appreciated! Thank you

Looks like a lost cause. I suspect downy mildew. I never found a cure.

Stop watering and spray it with 2 tablespoons of baking soda per gallon of water

Thanks so much! I'll try the baking soda and if the plant doesn't turn around after the weekend I'll grab another while it's still early-ish.

Interesting pot. Is it from a greenhouse supply store?

Lol, its actually a laundry basket lined with landscaping fabric. It was cheap and effective ^_^

LOL- that is too funny because I should have recognized it - my potatoes are in the exact same landscape lined laundry basket!
