A slug is for life not just for the allotment

Not enough info, but most likely slugs.

they are small holes in centre of the plants about 2 milimetres in size
cucumbers not touched or tomatoes

no sign of dead slugs anywhere -no signs of insects

That's better, don't know though what it is, some little beetle, does not seem to affect the plants much, then relax. Have you got sticky tapes up, they are good for catching bugs in the gh.

No special makes needed, most places with a good garden outlet sell them.

Sheets of sticky paper , like fly catcher they are, hang up just above the height of plants, amasing what you catch in no time. :lol:
