GreenlyWhen to plant zucchini in Cork
In Cork, zucchini: sow seedlings around 18 April for the greenhouse and around 9 May for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 20 May; plant out into open ground around 10 June.
Last spring frost around 3 April, first autumn frost around 21 November. Frost-free days: 232 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.
