GreenlyWhen to plant cucumbers in Spain: 9 April – 15 October
Cucumber in Spain: plant out into open ground from 9 April to 15 October; the window opens earliest in Écija and closes latest in Plasencia (48 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.
