Sorry State of Affairs

I love gardening and I love the taste of fresh, homegrown cucumbers. It is pure summer! But not this year. Just look at my sad, sorry, cucumber plants.
I planted 8 plants and have pulled out three because of all this disease. I check every single leaf and can't find the dreaded cucumber beetle, or any other pesky pest either. I didn't have enough space to plant all of the seedlings so I gave some to Tom and his plants look great, so I know it isn't the plant itself. Here's an up close and personal look at the damage:
And even more sorry pics - these two are of my black-eyed susans.


So much for disease free native plants, huh?
