      Helenuk, if I am correct in what you are referring to, then the little white spots are spines. Does the surface of the cuc seem prickly?
      They are perfectly normal on some cucumbers. Just wipe over with a damp cloth to remove them before you eat them or scrape the knife edge down the sides to remove. The other end of the cuc has the last of the flower on it. Both perfectly normal.
      Nice cucumber by the way.
      And welcome to the vine as I haven't already said it!! Sanjo

        Absolutely normal, they seem to get loss prominent as the cucumber grows. One of mine was really spiky at first but now it is almost ready to pick you can barely see the bumps.

              Great cuc, well done you.
              Lots of cucs have these prickly spines on, and sometimes it depends on the variety.

              And when your back stops aching,
              And your hands begin to harden.
              You will find yourself a partner,
              In the glory of the garden.
