Greenly Garden

When to plant tomatoes in Pakistan: 19 March – 29 August

Tomato in Pakistan: plant out into open ground from 19 March to 29 August; the window opens earliest in Quetta and closes latest in Murree (2 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.
