My most healthy cucumber..

Thats about 4inches just in case you were wondering.

Everything else looks worse than this, if I can stand to look at them I'll post some other pictures of things Im growing trying to kill.

I've got one "spare" cucumber plant left which I am going to have to plant out in the next day or so as I'm on holiday next week. Think I should say goodbye before I go!
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

The papery leaves (I take it they are papery) can be indicative of sun scald. Is your greenhouse shaded?

Re the courgette, did it suffer, I mean was it tended to in the greenhouse before being abandoned outside?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Mine were looking a bit like this one - and they are growing outdoors and I've been very careful about not getting water on the leaves etc.. but now they seem to have outgrown their problem and the newer leaves are looking much better.... for the moment!
That new leaf looks good, that should give cause for a bit of optimism, even though it is a cucumber...

I rate the cucumbers chances as 50%.

The courgette 50% lower than that. :(

68% for the courgette.
