Episode #2: How to Extend Your Garden Season; Plus Planting Fall Garlic

In Podcast Episode 2, I share a few ideas on how you can extend your gardening season into late fall and perhaps right through spring using mulch, floating row covers, and even constructing a simple low tunnel over your raised beds. Plus I’ll share tips for planting one of my favorite fall vegetables — and probably one of the easiest to grow – and that’s garlic! 

Podcast #2 Show Notes:

The Coeur d'Alene Coop
I like to plant my onions close. In my small garden space, I want to grow as much as possible, so I fill the borders of my raised beds with tightly packed onions (all grown from seed)...bunching or bulbing, it doesn't matter. Over the season, I "thin" them by pulling every other, as I need them. Here, I have a lovely threesome of Walla Wallas, ready for the grill. Their companions, still in the soil, now have more room to grow. Use your garden space wisely.#thecoeurdalenecoop #smallspacegardening #organiconions #wallawallaonions #grilledonions ...
