Mottled cucumber / dwarf French beans

I planted some dwarf French beans and cucumber from seed. They were growing healthily for a time and the cucumber had developed flowers and the beans are growing some lovely looking beans.  However Both are now displaying a yellow/white mottling.  The cucumber leaves feels papery and crinkly, and the leaves are curling. The beans leaves are turning brown at the edges.  My parsley is showing a similar mottling but no other issues. 
Do you know what is causing this?  Pictures of cucumber and beans attached.

    They look scorched, maybe by too much sunshine on wet leaves in a greenhouse?

    Never considered that.  Possibly!  They are outdoors but while I was travelling recently my husband did try to "help" me with the hardening off process and left them outdoors all day too quickly. They seemed fine for 1-2 weeks after that so I assumed it was ok.  

    They are on the decline now so not sure if they will survive ?

    Thanks for taking the the time to help!
