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 Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers of Chatham County for a workshop or 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. Participants in the in-person workshop will also get a tour of our demonsration garden.
