This is my first year growing cucumbers and everything was going good until I went on vacation and came back to find two cucumbers that were yellow with the ends curling inward (almost like a circle). They were a decent size for pickling cucumbers I imagined so I just tossed them thinking that the house sitter probably let them sit on the vine too long. Now I'm seeing that many of the new little cucumbers are starting to turn yellow. I believe they are getting plenty of water and definitely enough sun. Any ideas?
 
Possibly nitrogen deficient, could be virus. I'd give them a shot of liquid fertilizer, and epsom salt, and see if that picks them up. Do a foliar spray. What is the variety? Are they the little mini Cornichon variety? or standard picklers?

They are boston pickling cucumbers. Thanks so much. I will try that today.
