The dark area with the large white cells is a bicollateral vascular bundle. To be honest I cannot tell what you've done, just trying to help. I think it maybe looks okay, but if I had to grade it I'd want it to be clearer.

Goggle for 'crossection of cucumber stem' you will get lots of good examples.
