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!

Let's have a peek in the Coop's Growing Garage. This is where the seed-starting magic happens. 🌱Pepper seedlings and few tomato seed-snails are about ready for transplanting.Soon all these racks will be filled with pepper, tomato, eggplant, and tomatillo seedling. 🍅But before that happens, we need to pot up and move the lettuce seedlings to the greenhouse. 🥬It's a juggling act, but planning and the right timing keeps everything moving like clockwork. 🕰️Time to get busy!#thecoeurdalenecoop#springseedstarting#greenhousegrowing#growingorganic#thisishowiroll ...

Pepper seedlings and few tomato seed-snails are about ready for transplanting.

Soon all these racks will be filled with pepper, tomato, eggplant, and tomatillo seedling. 🍅

But before that happens, we need to pot up and move the lettuce seedlings to the greenhouse. 🥬

It's a juggling act, but planning and the right timing keeps everything moving like clockwork. 🕰️

Time to get busy!
