Plants need at least 10 hours of daylight to grow actively. The period with under 10 h is called the Persephone period.

From To Number of days
Daylight over 10 h 2 Mar 11 Oct 223
Persephone period 12 Oct 1 Mar 142
Plan the year's last sowing of cold-hardy plants in Ransjö so they are approximately 75% mature by 12 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.
