When to plant cucumbers in Turkey: 14 April – 14 October
Cucumber in Turkey: plant out into open ground from 14 April to 14 October; the window opens earliest in Adana and closes latest in Antalya (15 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.
