GreenlyWhen to plant eggplant in Ankara
In Ankara, eggplant: sow seedlings around 9 February for the greenhouse and around 2 March for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 20 April; plant out into open ground around 11 May.
Last spring frost around 15 April, first autumn frost around 3 November. Frost-free days: 202 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.
