GreenlyWhen to plant cucumbers in Kazakhstan: 26 April – 26 August
Cucumber in Kazakhstan: plant out into open ground from 26 April to 26 August; the window opens earliest in Kyzylorda and closes latest in Aktau (18 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.
