Abstract

Most vegetables suited to fall gardens need 60 to 90 days from planting to harvest, which means you'll need to plant them between mid-August and mid- September for them to mature before the Persephone Period begins. If you plant later, the vegetables won't have enough time to reach 75% maturity for overwintering or full maturity for harvesting before growth slows dramatically. [Extracted from the article]
