Megan Cain, The Creative Vegetable Gardener, is a garden educator, writer and speaker. She developed one of the first youth gardening programs in Madison, has designed and installed gardens in many homeowners’ yards, managed a 1/4 acre youth farm, worked on CSA farms, created a series of gardening classes that often have waiting lists, and tends to a large home garden. Megan says: “I know what works and what doesn’t…and I love to share it”.
At our November meeting Megan shared her insights on:
"Harvesting Fresh Veggies in the Snow: How to Extend the Gardening Season".
If you want to continue harvesting from your garden through the first frost and serve produce from your yard for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, August is the month to take action! Megan explained the best planting dates for fall vegetables, which varieties are best for cold weather, how to use simple season extension techniques like row cover, cold frames, and low tunnels, and how you can harvest from your garden all year round, even in Wisconsin!
And...for anyone who missed out on the club's 1st Bulb Sale, there were extra bulbs available for purchase!
