Hi 
I am very new to growing anything 
and probably not that good at it lol 
i bought a plastic greenhouse thing and a few small veg plants 
personally I think my cucumber plant looks not good 
can I get your opinions and advice please 
Also growing 2 types of tomatoes and a sweet pepper.

    What's all the white residue that is on the leaves and the pots? Are you spraying them with something?

    No. That’s just how I bought it 
    all I have done is watered them.

    More than enough plants for that greenhouse, Does the cucumber look like that early in the morning? They sometimes get limp if it gets very hot. I assume it's been watered, it could be a problem with over-watering, ease it out of the pot and look at the roots, you're looking for nice white roots, if you don't see any then I would probably just buy another one.

    You also need to think about potting them up into bigger pots. About 10-12inch pots will see them through.

    Yes I was going to do that tonight / tomorrow 
    didn’t want to do that at lunch today as it was too hot ( I’m guessing there ofc but I might have made myself look clever !! )
