Default When can I put my cucumbers out?

I'm growing Crystal Lemon and Beth Alpha. Nearly everything that I grow is in containers, but this is the first time that I've grown cucumbers.

I lost some earlier by putting them out too soon to harden off.

I would welcome some advice from anyone out there.

I've got a small trellis that I can grow them up if necessary. At the moment I'm growing runner beans, lettuces, tomatoes - beef and cherry, marrows, spinach and chillis as well as hopefully, cucumbers.

Happy Gardening to all - you've already helped me such a lot

Hello Chilli Gal, my Crystal Lemon are out now (They were hardened off) and doing good. I grew them last year and they did well in a disgusting summer.
Good luck with them. Here's this years

I've spent the last week hardening mine off and if it stays dry tomorrow will be planting them out. I put them out this time last year and had a really good crop.

Thanks for the advice - I think that I'll put them out as I don't have any room for them in my little utility room now.

Happy Gardening from Chilli Gal
