What’s the best time of year to plant tomatoes? Can I really harvest fresh greens through November? How can I enrich my garden soil over the winter? Come find the answers to these questions and more at this workshop on crop planning.
Megan Gregory, Community Gardening Coordinator with N.C. Cooperative Extension, will discuss when to plant different vegetables and cover crops, and how to create crop rotations that keep your soil enriched and reduce disease problems. We will tour summer plantings at Catholic Charities’ garden, discuss what can be planted in the fall, and demonstrate how to build a low tunnel to keep greens growing into the winter. Participants will create a fall crop plan for their gardens. You are encouraged to bring a diagram of your planting areas and records of what has been planted in each bed over the past few years.
