I wouldn't just yet unless you can guarantee overnight temps of 10c + or have some way of maintaining that temp. Squashes will definitely sulk below that (and you may lose them altogether), not so sure about the sweetcorn, as this is my first year attempting to grow it.

Mine are still in the cold frame but we are struggling slightly to get everything in.

They are on there last few days if not week. Not sure what to do really, I decide and then log in here and read peoples posts and change my mind.  ::)

On the ten day forcast night temperatures may fall to 3 so be a bit patient but I will check again in about a week and if no frost or low temperatures are on the cards then out they go  ;)
