In a word, yes!

Don't over-water the cukes though, they only need half an excuse to die and it often results from the base of the stem rotting.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I always plant my peppers and chillies up to the seed leaf when I plat out with no issues. Not sure about the cukes though, I tend to plant them on a small mound to prevent them getting too wet and rotting.
