On August 29th the Curry Educational Greenhouse & Garden (CEGG) hosted a workshop, presented by Julia Bott and Diana Gorman, on how to make your garden a year-round source of fresh produce! This workshop explored what to plant in the late summer for a successful fall, winter, and spring harvest. Seasonal techniques to extend yield; strategies for reducing pest pressure, and ways to nurture and protect your garden’s soil through the winter months were all discussed.
Some vegetable starts were planted in the CEGG gardens and starts were also shared with participants, so that they might put these season-extension techniques into practice right away. The attendees’ comments, rapport, and hands-on help made a welcome difference and will help with planning future gathering/teaching experiences and workshops at CEGG.
