Greenly Garden

When to plant cucumbers in Armenia: 23 May – 18 August

Cucumber in Armenia: plant out into open ground from 23 May to 18 August; the window opens earliest in Vanadzor and closes latest in Yerevan (3 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.
