I would be planting mine (and chillies, beetroot,) if T&M could be bothered to post my seeds. >:((see other thread!!!)
I've ordered a white cue to try....

Don't usually grow cues but have sown some "individual" sized ones this year. Can't hurt to try.

I haven't planted mine yet either but, to be honest, I am trying to learn from my mistakes.  I planted lots of things way too early last year and had lots of stress trying to keep them warm and with enough light!  This year I am relaxing a bit and will plant my cucs in a couple of weeks time.  Hopefully they will still be successful!

I'm surprised anyone has started cukes yet as they're so cold sensitive that unless you've got a warm greenhouse for them, they'll sulk if they simply don't die off. I won't start mine until beginning of May.

that's the mistake I made last year Trillium, won't make it again.
Mid April the first couple will be sown, and another couple 2 weeks after that.
If the first 2 curl up their toes, I'll still have two on the way  :D

Planted mine about 10 days ago and they romped out!!  They are huge already and have been potted on and are in a greenhouse in my greenhouse (which is a very cunning plan to save on heating!)

I hate cucumber plants.  I have failed at every attemp for 5 years including last year an indoors position by the patio doors in the dining room.  I am off course not learning from experience and trying again this year.  My 2 girls and son love the following that they can pick, any soft fruit and I mean any, carrotts, peas any variety all types are eat all to my son.  So which vegetable are the most difficult the ones they like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time waits for no man and I can't wait for growth.

As late as possible.  I keep mine in the Conservatory (unheated but warmer than the greenhouse as attached to the house, natch!) as long as possible before moving to the cold greenhouse. They hate the cold.

Last year sowed 02-Mar, planted in Greenhouse on 25-May (first fruit 16-May :) ) - I think they were about 4' tall when planted.

If outdoor cucumbers then you need to delay even longer - I would recommend past last frost and another couple of weeks more to let the weather warm up some more.

Mine are outdoor ones so a bit less tender.  They are just breaking the soil at the moment in the propagator.   They will stay in the utility window for about three weeks until they get a couple of pairs of strong true leaves and then move to the cold frame with a fleece hat <cute> for cold nights.  Planted out all being well, mid May with a fleece wrap for some days to settle in and protect from windburn.

Well made plans of mice and men, huh?   :dry:
