GreenlyWhen to plant eggplant in Valencia
In Valencia, eggplant: sow seedlings around 21 January for the greenhouse and around 11 February for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 1 April; plant out into open ground around 22 April.
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.
