2016 Putting Your Garden to Bed

 Registration is closed for this event

Our summer crops are nearly done producing, we've sown our fall crops, and the first fall frost is right around the corner.  What should we be doing in our gardens now that it's mid-October?  Come join us as we tour the Grateful Tomato Garden and review all the tasks we should be doing to prep our gardens for winter. 

Topics will include clearing spent crops, soil testing, choosing and adding amendments, mulching, cover cropping, and planning ahead for your 2017 garden.  Come prepared to pull out tomato plants, collect a soil sample for soil testing, and add some soil amendments to the demo garden beds.

The following weekend (separate registrations required), join us for two more fall workshops:  a garlic planting and growing workshop with Farmer Pete Rasmussen, and a hands-on workshop where we will sow some winter cover crop and install a double-layered low tunnel over our fall-sown lettuces, radishes, kale, and carrots.
