Default Cucumber - Burpless Tasty Green F1 - Virus?


"dommy" wrote in message

Hi all - I grew some cucumber seeds from Mr Fothergills called Burpless
Tasty Green F1 this year.

They were grow indoors and still are indoors as the temperatures here
in London are still a bit low.

They are all now about 6 Inches high, with two true leaves developed so
far.

All 5 of the plants look very healthy. However the two first leaves
that grew have got yellow spots on them. The spots are light yellow in
colour and are only visable in the 1st two leafs. The true leafs dont
have any spots and are quite big.

Is this common among cucumber plants or have mine got some sort of
virus or disease. If so is there a cure or are they all doomed?

I hope someone can help - Many thanks in advance


I think they may have been too damp when germinating and got a bit of rot in
the seed leaves.

Should be O.K. now (hopefully).

Saw similar in my courgettes, and most did not germinate.

However, the cucumbers did fine for some reason.
