Recommended for Winter Harvest
We’re here to help fill all your harvest slots. That’s why we identify varieties in our trials that can be planted in late summer or early fall for successful winter harvest. We recommend these winter crop varieties for harvest before or during the “Persephone Period,” when day length is less than 10 hours and plant growth essentially halts. Shop now to extend your harvest season into the depths of winter.
