    Perhaps a nutrient deficiency, are you growing them in fresh compost?

    Hi thanks for the reply
    Yes I have use the same compost as my mangetout and they are growing okay but they have white patches on some leaves. I have attached a photo.

    That looks like a possible nutrient deficiency too, unless you have some interesting variegated type! What brand of compost are you using? Perhaps try a weak nutrient solution on the cucumbers, tomorite if you have any, and see if that helps.

    It was B&Q Westland New Horizon fruit and veg compost. I will try some Tomorite 
    Thanks for the advice.
