GreenlyWhen to plant watermelon in Brest
In Brest, watermelon: sow seedlings around 12 April for the greenhouse and around 3 May for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 14 May; plant out into open ground around 4 June.
Last spring frost around 23 April, first autumn frost around 13 November. Frost-free days: 204 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.
