    I'd start them off on the windowsill indoors first though, it might give them a faster start.

    Cucumber's crop much sooner than Tomatoes etc., so I think you will be OK. My book says they take 12 weeks, but that is from an early sowing when the weather is cold and the light is poor / short days.

    Mine were sown at beginning of March and the first fruit was 10 weeks later.

    (That's in a greenhouse)
