When to plant peas in France: 27 December – 15 October

Peas in France: sow straight into the bed from 27 December to 15 October; the window opens earliest in Perpignan and closes latest in Montpellier (43 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.
