“Nature abhors a vacuum”, so put your garden beds to work beyond the usual summer growing season. Join Master Gardener Keith Monahan to learn what (& when) to plant for harvesting into late fall, winter, and even the following spring & summer. Topics include: planting for fall & winter harvest, protecting plants from cold weather, plants that are improved by winter, over-wintering a beloved pepper plant, and planting garlic and shallots for summer harvest.
