What is the importance of todays autumnal equinox...the first day of fall? The days start to get shorter than the nights. This is an important consideration in fall crop variety selection because food crop growth slows as daylight wanes. If youre planting fall veggies, select those with short days to maturity. Also, certain deciduous trees turn color in autumn (such as the abundant maples, pistache and oaks found in the county) as do our beautiful vineyards. While a number of factors turn leaf color, the main factor is the lack of light.
