Im having a go at growing carrots for the first time and i seem to be having a problem. I planted my seeds about a week ago in a tub and there doesn't seem to be any sign of them yet even though they are well watered and in the sunshine. Can anyone help me please?

Carrots can take a couple of weeks or more to come through, be patient. But I am unsure whether they'll do well in a tub, unless it's a very deep tub.
Peppers can take a week or two to germinate. They develop quite slowly and should really have been sown (indoors) some weeks ago. If you haven't started any yet, it might be better to buy a few plants now to get off to a good start.
Cucumbers, though, will germinate in a few days if you start them indoors in pots, and they don't benefit from starting too early. Then when they're well up you can move them to somewhere cooler, and start to harden them off if they are to go outside.
