GreenlyWhen to plant cucumber in Rostov-on-Don
In Rostov-on-Don, cucumber: sow seedlings around 22 March for the greenhouse and around 12 April for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 3 May; plant out into open ground around 24 May.
Last spring frost around 29 March, first autumn frost around 9 November. Frost-free days: 225 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.
