Hi everyone stupid question but here we go.

 I'm currently have a cucumber plant about 6inches tall and i was wondering if it could be grown outside instead of inside of a unheated greenhouse?

 Cucumber variety is Cucumber Slangen (r)
Longo da China  

I got this off ebay in a pack, the seeds should be well in date.

 The reason i am asking for advice is because my greenhouse keeps being destroyed by the gales and the atrocious weather we've having.

Thanks for any any advice :)

Even ifs a variety that can be grown outdoors they're frost tender so it can't go out until late May/early June.  Put it out now and it will not survive.

I'm planning on growing cucumbers outside but I'm not even sowing them until Mid-April.

Sorry, its fix the greenhouse or let it die and resow.  :(

last year I grew a greenhouse variety in one of the zip up plastic growhouses - It was very successful.  But it's far too early yet to do that  :!:

put it in the biggest pot you have, keep it warm for now and then put it out side in mayish

if green house leaks in the cold wrap in bubble wrap
always have a target
and an objective.
