    We have grown lunch box variety cucumbers and have so far had about 15 of them which have been lovely, there are loads more on the plants but while some of them are growing nicely there are a few which are going yellowish and soggy looking - am I overwatering or is this something else?

    "there are a few which are going yellowish and soggy looking"

    Are they still only an inch or two long? if so that's normal, its just the plant regulating the number oit can hold. Harvest them at the smallest size that is ripe / straight / useful and the new ones will keep coming.

    If bigger ones are going yellow then there is perhaps something-up :(
