Cucumbers are plants that are grown in warm conditions so must not be planted out until any frosts have passed, a sunny sheltered spot is required.  The soil must be well drained and humus rich.
 
Alternatively plant out in the tunnel or greenhouse border or into grow bags.  
 
Sow indoors between April - May placing 2 seeds into 7cm pots on their sides about 2.5cm deep place onto a window sill, warm greenhouse or propagator. Pot on the strongest plants when the roots are visible at the bottom of the pots into 10cm pots and grow on.
 
Plant out when all danger of frost has passed, pinch out the growing tip when the plants have around 7 leaves to encourage strong side shoots.  Train up a support if required.
