Good job on the cukes.
The leaf wilting is a protective measure to conserve moisture. The wisdom of Mother Nature!
Here’s something you might want to try to keep your plants hydrated.
Fill a bottle with water. Put a lid on it. Punch a small hole in the bottom of the bottle so the water slowly drips out. Set the bottle on the soil in your pots.
You may have to adjust the hole size in your new drip irrigation system to match the plant needs.
Wishing you success with all your planting and growing experiences.
Thanks! I will certainly try that.
My dad and I are currently working on another drip system that might get a bit more involved here where we use a natural stone/sand/charcoal filter system to use bath and shower water that will then run over the plants in a gutter system and drip from the holes along the way.
Well that is the theory anyway.
Sounds like a workable system. Be sure to post some pics of the new system.
