When to plant bell peppers in France: 24 April – 7 September

Bell Pepper in France: plant out into open ground from 24 April to 7 September; the window opens earliest in Perpignan and closes latest in Montpellier (43 cities).

Each window starts on the Greenly calendar date and ends on the last day that still leaves the crop’s days to harvest (from its card) before the average first autumn frost, plus six weeks of picking for crops harvested over weeks (tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, cucumbers, courgettes, pumpkins, watermelons, beans) — our rule; earlier in the window is safer.
