Time to consider the winter

I know after the last winter most of the US had the last thing on your mind is upcoming cold.  And yes it is right around the corner...Right now we are enjoying the tomatoes and peppers but within the next two months we will start to unwind to fall harvest and then winter.  Now is the perfect time to plan for the cold and get ready to extend your growing season, possibly well into the winter.

No money for a greenhouse, consider a hoop house.  They are pretty inexpensive and reusable or maybe a DIY coldframe (we will cover that in a few days).  Here is a video from Howl in Lowell.  The community garden sets up hoop houses and in the Northeast they can be extremely helpful when a regular greenhouse is not available, to extend the growing season or start growing a little earlier.

Got some tips and trick you would like to share post away!  Hope you enjoy and of course -

Happy gardening, farming and eating!
