I do.  Surely you haven't planted them yet?

If your conservatory is attached to the house it may be okay as you'll get heat leaking out from the house.... :)

I've a greenhouse in a windy spot so I tend to be later than most.

Be careful not to over water cucurbits can rot at them stem easily, better to water from underneath if in pots IMO.
