GreenlyWhen to plant cucumber in Birmingham
In Birmingham, cucumber: sow seedlings around 18 April for the greenhouse and around 9 May for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 30 May; plant out into open ground around 20 June.
Last spring frost around 26 April, first autumn frost around 19 November. Frost-free days: 207 days.
The dates follow the Greenly calendar: open ground a week after the last frost once the soil is warm enough for the crop, frost-hardy crops three weeks before it, an unheated greenhouse three weeks earlier, seedlings sown so they are ready on the day. In a cold year allow a week or two more.
