Collapsed cucumbers

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

I've grown 5 cucumber plants this year, 3 in the polytunnel (2 Passandra, 1 Crystal Apple), and 2 outside (Marketmore - thanks KG), and all 5 have grown to about 4' and then given up the ghost. Withered, shrivelled, and the leaves have curled up. I suspect mosaic, although I'm not sure, but I've never had any trouble before with cukes. Is it this wet cool year we're having?
I think, therefore I am.
