Greenly Garden

When to plant tomatoes in Kazakhstan: 12 April – 21 July

Tomato in Kazakhstan: plant out into open ground from 12 April to 21 July; the window opens earliest in Turkistan and closes latest in Aktau (18 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.
