GreenlyWhen to plant peas in Portugal: 27 December – 15 October
Peas in Portugal: sow straight into the bed from 27 December to 15 October; the window opens earliest in Castelo Branco and closes latest in Beja (9 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.
