PNW Winter Gardening & Prep

Did you know that Daylight below 10 hours = No Growth? WA is further North than Maine, Winter = 9 hours of daylight (8 hours on Winter Solstice & 16 hours Summer Solstice) Gardeners in the PNW must get veggies in ground in Aug & Sept here so they grow to size and then HOLD for harvest throughout the winter with row cover hoops. Check out these great reference books!
