Daylight over 10 h 1 Mar 13 Oct 226
Persephone period 14 Oct 28 Feb 139

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.
