Extending the Growing Season

There are several methods to extend the growing season in Minnesota. Most require planning ahead of time, or a purchase of new materials. Other methods may involve using what you already have and creating a more sheltered or indoor environment for your vegetables and herbs.

This class focuses on crop cover methods, but will also provide information on other means to extend the growing season.

This class is part of a series called: Winter Dreaming for Summer Eating Series. A series of classes presented over four weeks by Hennepin County Master Gardeners. These classes are free to attend, and you need only register once for the entire series. Each class will take place on a Saturday and will be repeated the following Tuesday.

What does a gardener ponder about during the cold winter days? Dream about their summer vegetable garden, of course. Take a deeper dive to learn what you can spend your time planning, selecting and doing while waiting for the outdoor season to begin again. This series of classes provides a post-beginner view of how to plan and get ready for your herb and vegetable garden.
