When to plant cucumbers in Peru: 13 October – 30 March

Cucumber in Peru: plant out into open ground from 13 October to 30 March; the window opens earliest in Puno and closes latest in Cusco (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.
