How to Coax Fresh Vegetables From the Garden All Winter Long
Advice from a cold-frame enthusiast! Autumn typically signals the end of home grown vegetables from the garden, but with a little ingenuity you can harvest garden fresh produce well into the winter months. My Central Pennsylvania garden continues to supply fresh vegetables during the fall and winter when most gardeners in my growing region are content to dream about next summer’s bounty.Mar. 6, 2006
Preparing Successful Seedlings
Strong beginnings for a great garden. Growing your own seedlings is very gratifying and far more economic than purchasing them. It also gives you far greater control over your existing growing conditions.Jan. 25, 2006
Cold Frames
An extended look at cold-frames. Most growers experience a down period during harsh months before spring and after fall. Fortunately, most name brands make a cold frame growing house designed to extend your grow cycle into winter weather. For those who are new to the world of growing, it's best to get small, but expandable greenhouse kits. A cold frame traps the heat from daily sunlight and resists cooling at night. They can be an excellent, yet inexpensive way to start your season early or extend it into late Fall.Jan. 24, 2006
Plant Away The Winter Blues
Some winter gardening advice from Bill Hirst. I look forward each day durring the winter. To some, lamenting the past days of fall with its bright foliage in the landscape, and feeling down that the dull days of winter are here. For me I have grown to appreciate each day and look forward to interests in landscapes that are there knowing that many dazzeling displays can be found by careful observation. The days are short and the nights are long. Yet growing plants and enjoying plants are year round activities that bring many quality hours of enjoyment.Jan. 17, 2006
