For beetroot, mid April onwards depending where you are. For the courgettes and cucumbers I would say late April onwards under cover, late May to June outside.

You can sow beetroot in modules now (well, down here in the south you can), for planting out towards the end of next month. Wait till the soil's warmer before you sow outtdoors.

Courgettes & cucumbers - April is fine.
