You're going to struggle to keep them indoors until all risks of frost has passed.

I'd be inclined to write this down to experience & re-sow. I wont't be doing mine for a couple of weeks yet.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Yes, you can keep them in there, but still seem too early even on your location.

I don't even think of them yet.

would sound more use for seed sown now. :)

They'll be fine, pot the courgettes into bigger pots and you can put them out in a couple of weeks. Make sure you keep them well watered, courgettes love water. And the sweetcorn should be ok for a couple of weeks more, mine were massive last year before I put them ou and they did brilliantly. Don't know on the cucumbers as haven't grown them myself!

Alternatively you could buy yourself a cloche and put them out in that (about £12 in Wyevale)

Good luck, and do a little sundance to bring on the warm weather!!
