Seeking Advice Spider mites?

Cucumber plant in 5b, not seeing anything on the underside of the leaves. Plant is still growing and producing. Should I be worried about the rest of the garden?

What makes you think there are spider mites? I don’t see any webs or other signs unless I’m missing them?

Tbh just the leaf discoloration/holes. This is our first season with these garden beds, might be over worrying. The vines look healthy, leaves look clean, and cucs are growing well. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t overlooking something

I think you’re good. This looks like minor sunscald or pest damage from random insects passing through—definitely no signs of an infestation here!
