In this hybrid course, held online and in-person, learn how to extend the season’s harvest to enjoy your own garden greens in the early spring months. Friday evening, Molly Comstock of Colfax Farm will lead students through a discussion of successful early planting. The lecture will cover growing undercover, in cold frames and in low polytunnels, as well as crop selection and timing. Saturday, join us on the farm to see these principles in action. Get hands-on experience with proper soil cultivation and learn about a variety of techniques for producing early season crops.
