Persephone Days are days with less than ten hours of daylight. At my latitude this runs froom November 20 to January 19. Plant growth all but stops during this time. Although I could plant some greens to near maturity before then, I have decided to start work on next year’s garden.
Over the winter, I will clear another area for planting and kill off whatever is growing there now. I will cover the beds where crops did not mature and let them ride out winter. At this point due to the lack of light, they will need considerably more than the days to maturity marked on the seed packet. How many more we will find out in a month or so.
