Growing Cucumber

I am growing cucumber up a trellis - they have just started to fruit and I have picked one but the skin seems scarred or eaten a bit (not through to the inside) rather a motley look. Does anyone know what that would be?? What could I spray or do to stop it.

Hi Sandra, It sounds like the skin may have split as a result of growing too quickly. Try cutting down the watering a bit
