Cucumber problem?

Image

I transplanted this cucumber plant yesterday (yes I know very late in the game) but just noticed some of the leaves are looking like this. I don't believe they looked like this yesterday. Any thoughts on what this is from, if there is anything I can do to fix it? Or is this normal and I just don't know because I've never grown cucumber before....

Thanks.

Did you harden the plants off befor transplanting?

Honestly, I have never heard of doing that before ( very new to gardening). I did buy the plant from a local nursery, and the plant was located outside. So is this something I just cross my fingers and pray gets better, or something I can do to help?

Those are the first two leafs that come out. most cucumbers can be direct sown. So you can pick up a pack of seeds next time and sow a bunch ;) Also Next time you pick some up from a Garden Centre try to get ones that have 4+ leafs. that will mean they have their first True Leafs. They look different. For now I would keep them watered and possibly a little bit of light fertilizer and wait ;)

good luck!
