When to plant cucumbers in Italy: 23 April – 8 October

Cucumber in Italy: plant out into open ground from 23 April to 8 October; the window opens earliest in Foggia and closes latest in Palermo (41 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.
