Daylight over 10 h 25 Feb 17 Oct 234
Persephone period 18 Oct 24 Feb 131
Plan the year's last sowing of cold-hardy plants in Fjandø so they are approximately 75% mature by 18 Oct when daylight drops below 10 h and growth starts to slow.

Daylight periods

Long-day plants like lettuce, spinach and coriander bolt when daylight gets too long. Plan sowing and harvest during periods when daylight is shorter (10-14 h). Early spring or late summer sowing gives the best results.
