to the bacterial wilt carried by the cuke beetle? I've never seen a zuke plant collapse like this. Individual leaves collapse, but so far the main plant hangs on, though the number of leaves, which I've been stripping off, is seriously diminished. There is no hatch of squash bugs--I'm on the job on the eggs--but there are cuke beetles, though not in any huge number. No more than I've ever had on zucchini in many previous years. I've never grown this variety before, and I've never seen this plant behaviour before.

Anybody have any clues?
