Outdoor cucumbers
« on: May 03, 2013, 09:44 »
I've got a few Burpless Tasty cucumber plants that are coming along nicely, in fact 1 of them is huge and has 3 flowers on it already! I've been taking them outside in the day and bringing them back in at night for almost 2 weeks now. I was wondering whether I could leave them in the unheated greenhouse at the allotment overnight now? The lowest overnight outdoor temp we've had recently was 4C, is that too cold for them?

Plus, what is the minimum temp I should wait for to plant them out? I was hoping to get them settled outside in the next 2 weeks if possible.

Many thanks

They need to be warmer than 10C day and night.
