From To Number of days
Daylight over 10 h 26 Feb 16 Oct 232
Persephone period 17 Oct 25 Feb 133
Plan the year's last sowing of cold-hardy plants in Frederikshavn so they are approximately 75% mature by 17 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.

Season Light Period Days Advice
Shorter daylight 10-14 h 26 Feb – 14 Apr 48 Grow long-day plants like spinach, lettuce and coriander.
Longer daylight 14+ h 15 Apr – 28 Aug 136 High risk of bolting
