I was looking at my cucumbers this morning and I noticed what looked like little white spots on the leaves. This afternoon I took a closer look, and it appears that the white spots are areas where the leaves are thinner. When I turn the leaf over, you can see light shining through these spots. Just to clarify, these are not holes. Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing this and what I should do? Is this normal for cucumbers?
Is something wrong with my cucumbers?

You might look at that website and see if it helps. You seem to have a lot of curcurbits exhibiting similar problems.
Try the following remedy: 2 tablespoons of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil (I used cacola oil), 1 tablespoon baby shampoo (do not use antibacterial dish detergent) and I gallon of luke warm water. Spray top of leaves, under side if all leaves, and the stems. Repeat after rain.
