GreenlyWhen to plant tomatoes in Spain: 14 March – 9 September
Tomato in Spain: plant out into open ground from 14 March to 9 September; the window opens earliest in Écija and closes latest in Plasencia (48 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.
