Your seasonal context
Understand the place before the date.
The 64761 area uses a representative location near 38.583°, -93.695°. In the nearby historical climate grid, July is the warmest month on average (26.1°C), while January is the coolest (-1.5°C). May has the highest mean daily precipitation (4.51 mm).
Monthly mean temperatures are below freezing in January. Outdoor planting during those months needs a separate protected-growing assessment. Use these seasonal differences to frame your questions for a local gardening adviser.
Light at your latitude
At 38.583° N, the length of the day changes independently of temperature. Compare the middle of three seasons when planning your garden.
Geometric daylight estimate from latitude and solar declination, rounded to 0.1 hour. This is time above a flat horizon, excluding atmospheric refraction, hills, buildings and cloud cover. It is not the direct-sun exposure of your bed. About solar-position calculations.

Distances use GeoNames representative postal coordinates, which may be estimated; they are not driving distances. Nearby areas often share one NASA POWER grid cell, so identical climate values are expected. Differences shown here describe the climate grids, not a measured difference between individual gardens.
