When to plant peas in Chile: 28 June – 10 April
Peas in Chile: sow straight into the bed from 28 June to 10 April; the window opens earliest in Concepción and closes latest in Copiapó (13 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.
