Although I did harvest about 20 cucumbers so far, the leaves turned like this a while ago. I’ve been trimming off the really bad ones but was wondering if anyone else had this problem and what is the cause/solution to it? These are the cucumbers seed kits that AeroGarden sells.
Btw, this is my first time on this forum and I don’t see where to post pictures??

Yes, even though I can't see your cucumbers, I know what they look like. Cucumber leaves always start looking like crap. As long as there is a little green left in them, leave them alone as they still contribute to the ripening of the fruit. =====
As for pics. Everybody struggles with this.
The administrator doesn't want to store images on the AGA board as it takes too much space.
Rather you should save your pics on an external service and link to them.
I use imgur.
For imgur, I upload an image, use the "direct link" copy option on imgur, and then go the AGA and
paste the link into the "frame" icon (7th icon from right on second line of functions)
Others use a variety of services. Flicker being one of the most popular.
There is a recent thread about this very subject:

I agree, cucumber plants are a terrible eye-store, but your plant is probably perfectly healthy in spite of that. The only solution is pruning the offending leaves off, but I'd do that pretty sparingly, only to the leaves that are completely or nearly completely dried out. I'm not growing cukes right now, but here are a couple of old examples of what mine have looked like, even with pruning dead leaves:
Is that something like what your plant is doing?

Yep, looks like that and even worse. But they did produce a lot of cucumbers so I can’t complain complain.
Thanks for sharing!
