Finland. Chilis are ripening under artificial sun.
Outside, I've got ground elder sprouting. Yes, in Finland, December. No snow this year, but at least rich people can heat their swimming pools in Texas!
Estonia. Kale can still be picked from the field, but it's not growing since there's no light.
Some sea-buckthorn trees are still holding on to leaves. All other leaved trees have dropped theirs.
Right, things sprout but are too weak without light and instantly become food for fungus that doesn't care for light. It does care for moisture and lack of disturbance though, so natural composting that replenishes soil every year is clearly staggered. I don't see familiar white rhisomal nets that appear in winter normally yet.
