Default Temperature...it's all about...

Temperature. Specifically nighttime low temps. Now, I remember growing up my mom and dad always saying that Squash and melons were fairly tough, and you could plant them as soon as you thought it wasn't going to freeze again. Lately though, I've been reading some information online saying that things like zucchini, watermelon, pumpkin, and cucumbers (what I'm planting) shouldn't go outside until lows are staying at or above 50.

So I need help and/or advice. Lowest forecast temp for the next 10 days (and I'm guessing the rest of the season), is like 45. Would I be safe planting out at least zucchini? I've got them started, and they are growing so fast in the starter tray that I'm going to have to do something with them soon!
