Where to buy watermelon plants and seeds near Andijan

Buy plants ready to set out from 17 April to 30 July (from 27 March to 30 July for an unheated greenhouse); seed for raising your own is sown from 27 February to 2 July. Within 15 km of Andijan OpenStreetMap lists 10 markets (collected 27 October 2026).

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.
