Extension Gardener Webinar
8/12/21 5:30-7:30 pm
Vegetable crops are classified as either 'warm-season' or 'cool-season' according to their optimum planting time. Cool-season crops are generally planted in early fall to early spring because they do not tolerate the heat stress of the summer. However, cool-season crops vary in the specific horticultural practices needed for optimum production.
Join Matt Jones (Extension Horticulture Agent) and the Master Gardener℠ volunteers of Chatham County for a webinar targeting home and community gardeners on how to grow cool-season vegetables. Participants will learn about planting techniques and timing, best varieties, common problems, and harvesting methods for broccoli, cabbages, carrots. kales, lettuces, onions, peas, potatoes, and asparagus.
