metrogarden: cool online utility/app to visualize the sun’s trajectory in any day/time (past, present and future) and at any location of your choosing using google maps, via suncalc.net. SunCalc is a little app that shows sun movement and sunlight phases during the given day at the given location. You can see sun positions at sunrise, specified time and sunset. The thin orange curve is the current sun trajectory, and the yellow area around is the variation of sun trajectories during the year. The closer a point is to the center, the higher is the sun above the horizon. The colors on the time slider above show sunlight coverage during the day. Please leave your ideas about improving SunCalc or vote for them here, and follow @suncalc_net for updates. Brought to you by Vladimir Agafonkin in pure JavaScript goodness. Enjoy! it’s giving me a good idea where the sun will be during the winter months, so i can plan the location of the hoop houses accordingly.

laurajmoss: Click for larger version. or, you could plant a permaculture system (grow your cucumbers, squash and beans up your fruit trees?) and do all of this on half an acre (or maybe not worry so much about meat and grain production). still, an interesting chart.
