Default Is it time for my cucumbers to go outside? (Pictures inside)

Hi, this is the first time ive ever grown anything..

I grew these cucumbers from seed also the tomato's and was just wondering is it time for them to go outside? there getting pretty big now but there not doing any harm sat in my spare bedroom so i don't mind leaving them a bit longer.

EDIT: Also they will be going in pots what size would you recommended? ive got some big black ones around 12 inches high and 10 inches wide would this do?

Here is a couple of pictures...




Thanks

Hi Ethan, I would leave them to grow a bit more. The cucumber plants should grow fairly quickly and the tomato plants are best left in the pots they are growing in until they start flowering before transplanting into the larger pots you have.

My cucs are not much bigger than this and are flowering. Mine are outside during the day and in a greenhouse at night.

Should this be happening. I'm not happy that they are flowering already.

Any advice anyone?

(I've already posted this as a separate thread but any more advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
