Join Skyroot Farm Manager and UW Environmental Studies
instructor Beth Wheat by enrolling in 21 Acres first weekend course, Ambitious Vegetable Gardening. Beth will follow up her engaging and participatory spring classes with a specialized look at the fall growing season.
Most people think of autumn as the end of the growing season, but luckily, it can also be a time when harvesting gets extended or planting for spring can begin. Yes, the days are shorter, but a number of crop plants can successfully survive late autumn and winter and you will learn how to make this happen.
