GreenlyWhen to plant cucumber in Milan
In Milan, cucumber: sow seedlings around 10 March for the greenhouse and around 31 March for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 21 April; plant out into open ground around 12 May.
Last spring frost around 28 February, first autumn frost around 30 November. Frost-free days: 275 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.
