GreenlyWhen to plant cucumber in Cardiff
In Cardiff, cucumber: sow seedlings around 22 April for the greenhouse and around 13 May for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 3 June; plant out into open ground around 24 June.
Last spring frost around 25 March, first autumn frost around 22 November. Frost-free days: 242 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.
