How do you grow cucumbers in the winter months?

Hi, I currently grow cucumbers in my greenhouse but wondered what you have to do to grow them in the winter, eg the temperature they need to be kept at, what special equipment i need etc. Thanks

I think the link below may have the information you need. It is all about greenhouse cucumbers, light requirements, temperature requirements, etc. Have fun and eat well!
My best guess would be at the local wal-mart, in the grocery side
Have you heard of hotbeds? You can construct one for your balcony; back yard or spare room armed with grow lights. Look up winter gardening for your geographical area. Happy gardening.
It would not be feasible to grow cucumbers in the winter. The greenhouse needs heat.Your electric bill would outway the price of cucumbers at the store.
a propagator is good for getting them going, then in a glass or plastic cloche, tons of mulch and a parrafin heater, 20c would do it, then notch it up when they start getting big, your only prob might be lighting, as it gets dark earlier in winter (obviously)
