Discovery of cucumbers!

My partner found some baby cucumbers in the garden! They are lebanese cucumbers that I grew from seed - so I'm very excited!! This year, growing from seed hasn't been very successful. My eggplant seedlings didn't survive and my lettuce seedlings are growing extremely slowly. I suppose I have had a lot of success with flowers, tomatoes, peas and beans, but not chillies, herbs or eggplants. It's strange because my successes were the opposite in the previous years where I grew a bed of chillies and even succeeded growing herbs indoors. Anyway, these are my very first cucumbers. Are there any pests I should be watching out for?
