2016 Learning About Fall Crops

One of the best-kept gardening secrets is that you can harvest luscious and healthy fall crops in October, November and beyond with just a little planning and know-how.  At this free workshop, students will learn the basics of fall planting, including which crops tend to do best during the shortening days of autumn, how to get your cool season vegetable seeds to germinate in the heat of early August, how to boost the plants' productivity throughout the fall, and how to extend your harvest season into the dead of winter with low-tunnels, hoop houses, and cold frames. This is a great opportunity to ask all your fall crop and season extender questions.

Then on October 22nd, come to our Fall Season Extenders class at the Grateful Tomato Garden for some hands-on experience putting together a simple, low-cost low-tunnel and comparing different types of frost fabric.
