Using Greenhouses to Grow Vegetables
February 16, 2017
Eat (or sell) home grown produce 12 months of the year! Participants will learn about different season extension structures such as greenhouses, high tunnels and row covers used to grow vegetables. Crops include greens, tomatoes, cucumbers and more. Site selection, structures, crop nutrition and pest management will be covered. Judson Reid, Extension Vegetable Specialist with the Cornell Vegetable Program, will be the leader of this interactive workshop. Bring your ideas and questions!
