While fall traditionally signals the end of the gardening year, it doesn't have to.
With proper planning and selection, home gardeners can extend the vegetable gardening season and grow cool season vegetables all through autumn. Join Madison Walter in learning about what crops work well for a late season start and get some expert guidance on strategies to keep your garden productive for months to come. You’ll leave with useful tips and techniques to get you started in extending your growing season.
