Cucumbers... From windowsill to...?

Having just read the thread about cucumbers, I'm not sure what to do with my cucumber seedlings. I sowed mine a few weeks ago and they are now showing signs of the first true leaves. I don't have a greenhouse so was going to get one of those tomato plastic mini greenhouse things (lol) and put them into grow bags. I have loads of fleece so would be happy to wrap them up at night. Do any expert cucumber growers know if that would be ok? Or should I just pot them on and keep them indoors....?
Thanks

 

I grow mine on indoors until they threaten to take over, so looking at your pic I would leave them on the windowsill for another couple of weeks - I stand them in something & water from the bottom to get the roots going down.

Things should have warmed up enough by then for them to go outside, a blowaway will help them grow, just make sure you anchor it properly.

 

Fabulous... Thank you. I might try pots. I lost the packet but it did say that this variety was suitable for containers. Many thanks.

In my humble opinion this is excellent advice from Oxford Nick and Fat Controller.

 

That's why it's a good idea to stand them in a container and keep watering from the bottom, mind you, you have to take care not to over water as well so you really can't win

 

Often they can look thirsty when acually they have been chilled.
They go limp and dont recover when watered.

 

So they might not have been dry, as such, otherwise something would have perked up by now.

 

RIP cucumbers lol. I bought a blow away and put in extra large grow bags, with extra 'pot-shaped' things for extra height, and my cucumbers were fine for about three days.... Then dead! They literally drooped, and passed on into cucumber heaven. Ha ha. They weren't dry...not too wet...not too sunny, nor too shady. Guess it just wasn't meant to be. On the positive, my tomato plants look good this year! However, the slugs and snails are eyeing them up nicely...

 

I am back in business with my cucumber! I gave one to someone at work who left it on a windowsill without water for a week. Having taken it back home, I nursed it back to health, pinched out the top and now have it in a big pot on the windowsill. So far, so good! It's got loads of flowers and looking really healthy. Famous last words I'm sure...it's probably listening to me now...plotting to die somehow when I least expect it lol.
