When to plant cucumbers in Germany: 30 May – 8 September

Cucumber in Germany: plant out into open ground from 30 May to 8 September; the window opens earliest in Karlsruhe and closes latest in Wiesbaden (31 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.
