Making the right choice for cold tolerant plantings as well as the use of season extension will allow the backyard grower, community gardener, teacher educator and urban farmer to harvest all 12 months of the year.
Below is a webinar recorded on 10/6 that discusses the various ways to extend your harvest through the cold months. Click the link at the bottom of the post for webinar access.
