I always direct sow cukes, zukes, melons ...right around tomato plant out time.

The reason being that the are quite fast growing.

They are more cold sensitive than tomatoes. Just this year cold snap killed most of them except butter4nut squash. Night lows got down to slow 30s, NO frost.

Nothing happen to the tomatoes.
