When to plant tomato in Dublin

In Dublin, tomato: sow seedlings around 26 March for the greenhouse and around 16 April for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 22 May; plant out into open ground around 12 June.

Last spring frost around 7 April, first autumn frost around 24 November. Frost-free days: 231 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.
