Greenly Garden

When to plant tomatoes in Peru: 26 August – 23 February

Tomato in Peru: plant out into open ground from 26 August to 23 February; the window opens earliest in Ayacucho and closes latest in Cusco (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.
