February 28, 2020
If you are a gardener living in a colder climate hankering for homegrown produce year-round, you might want to consider overwintering future crops to extend your growing season.
Put simply, overwintering is a way of protecting plants from colder temperatures and frost and includes a variety of techniques. Some plants don’t need help surviving cold conditions, some require experiencing cold spells to properly grow, and some need our help to make it through the drop in temperatures. It depends on the plant and the growing zone you live in, but learning a few overwintering techniques is a great way to grow your gardening skill set.
