Where to buy zucchini plants and seeds near Sochi

Buy plants ready to set out from 21 May to 27 September (from 30 April to 27 September for an unheated greenhouse); seed for raising your own is sown from 9 April to 6 September. Within 15 km of Sochi OpenStreetMap lists 10 markets and 1 farm shop (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.
