When to plant tomatoes in Luxembourg: 15 May – 29 July
Tomato in Luxembourg: plant out into open ground from 15 May to 29 July; the window opens earliest in Ettelbruck and closes latest in Luxembourg (3 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.
