Cheeky Planter Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Actually, I use Starwalk application in iPhone. This allows you to know the sun elevation, the day length using your location. very useful!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Oak Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) I know that this subject is a little old but for people that may want to use it as a reference for the new year here's my input: One of the key components for out door growing that should be considered before worrying about daylight hours is the great British weather. We have in the past had snow right up to mid April and severe overnight ground frosts that have lasted until early and into mid May. From experience the best time to get the youngsters into the ground is the 20th May (earliest) and the 1st of june at the latest. Things start to warm up nicely and we have around 15 hours of daylight which increases very quickly from that point on. Regards English Oak.

Guest Polm Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Sawney planted his first plants out around 27th april last season and he reckons the early plant-out was the key to the great results he got.If frost isnt too bad then, the earlier you get them out the better Im thinkin'.

English Oak Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Definitely the earlier the better but I don't trust the weather down here, past couple of years this end has caught some nasty frost in the beginning of May. Always good from the 20th May. Anyway where's the snow now? Got a feeling it's going to be a snowy Feb to early March at this rate. I just want it to hurry up and get it out of the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indicaderek Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 A little info here on calculating where the sun will be in the sky throughout the year: http://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1224682331 For a given time and date: http://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1224682277 Why do you need this info? Because you need to know if your plants will be in shadow come harvest time, this tool will allow you to calculate the suns elevation in the sky for a given time, date and location. This info will also allow you to predict how much sun your plants will receive in those critical flowering and harvest months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
