The year in Starogard Gdański
What can move the date
Slow to germinate — start 8–10 weeks early with bottom heat around 22°C. Fruit will not set while nights stay below 12°C, so a greenhouse or a warm wall pays for itself.
Final spacing: 40 × 60 cm. Soil: pH 6–6.8.
Direct-sow only once the soil holds 18°C or more — soil temperature decides germination, not the date.
