Event Overview
There's still time to plan for a great fall harvest! This 75 minute class will teach you the basics of the square foot gardening system. Learn the secret to why there's no weeding, thinning, heavy digging, or any of the hard work associated with traditional gardening. Your garden will use only 20% of the space normally needed, use 90% less water, but you'll enjoy 100% of the harvest. As an added bonus, I'll be showing you how to extend your gardening season well into late fall for even more success. Participants will receive a free pamphlet covering all the basics of the SFG system and also a planting guide. Learn the method thats helped others to become more self-reliant and also to eat better tasting food.
Because of the timing of the class, we won't have a need to discuss the advanced techniques of the system such as vertical gardening, crop rotation, unique plant spacing, etc. You still have time to grow 8-10 different crops, which I will list below. Many will be new to you but experiment! I guarantee you'll love them. These absoluely love our climate and do very well in our cool fall temperatures. My suggestion is to have these crops on hand so that you can plant the minute you get home from class. You can check out Mountain Valley Seeds(local) or consult the online catalogs for buying at this time of season.
Crops that can still be planted for fall(but by the weekend of the class): Spinach, lettuce, radish, kohlrabi, endive, bok choi, mizuna, tatsoi, tokyo Bekana, and komatsuna. Also take a look at corn salad(mache), minutina, and claytonia.
Please bring ipads, iphones, etc. so that you can take pictures of things we disucss in class.
