Cucumber. Is this chemical burn? #412168

Asked July 06, 2017, 12:44 PM EDT

Hi, I looked through the photos and didnt see this one. Its a cucumber plant that i think may have chemical burn from when i applied Scotts weed and feed to my lawn. My questions are: Is it chemical burn? How do i proceed? Is the plant going to die? Can i eat the cucumbers? I also have another cucumber plant that shares the same earth box planter with the damaged one and two tomato plants in a different earth box that show no signs of this. Are those OK to eat

I am not certain if it is chemical burn. If you are concerned at all that it is damaged by what you used on your grass it is not edible.
