When to plant bell peppers in Ukraine: 12 May – 6 August
Bell Pepper in Ukraine: plant out into open ground from 12 May to 6 August; the window opens earliest in Nikopol and closes latest in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi (44 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.
