Veg Club Zoom 6/14: Winter Garden Prep Starts in Spring

Did you know that you can harvest many crops from your garden in winter and early spring?  Food holds so well in the winter garden that it's like a refrigerator where produce never goes bad. It's been a great convenience and source of nutrition during "Covid time," and it's extremely satisfying to eat from the garden when it's cold outside.Learning to make your garden bear all year is certainly an emergency preparedness skill. While a few winter crops are started in the fall, many are actually started in the summer.Attend our June 14 Veg Club session via Zoom to see the many crops you can grow, when to plant them, and how to protect them in winter. It's free and all are welcome.Join us via Zoom from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, June 14  and  the second Tuesday of every month at https://krl.zoom.us/j/85709916119To watch previous sessions on the Bainbridge Prepares YouTube channel, click the links below.Email Carol@hawkapp.com with questions about schedule & field trips.Topics includeFeb: Starting Your Garden: What, When, Where, Locally Adapted SeedsMar: Season Extension: How to get more from your garden over a longer seasonApr: The Power of a Healthy Soil EcosystemMay: Common Pests & Diseases + Predatory Insects & How to Attract ThemJun: Eat from Your Garden All Fall, Winter, & Early Spring + irrigation resourcesJul: Preserving Your Harvest: Canning at BARN In-Person Field TripAug: Fabulous Fruit Tree In-Person Field TripSept: Storing Your Harvest in Garden, Garage, and PantryOct: CompostingVeg Club is a joint production of Bainbridge Prepares & Kitsap Regional Libraries
