Introduction to Gardening Workshop: WINTER
For the past 10 years we have been teaching in person workshops about veggie gardening in South Florida at our nursery, however as part of our Covid pivot we recorded our most popular 4 part Introduction to South Florida Gardening and made it a virtual offering. The content in these virtual workshops is almost identical to the in-person offerings, so if the timing isn't right or you don't want to make the trek to our nursery this is a great option for you to learn from us.
Video two is our "winter" section and it focuses on what to do to continue working in your garden after your main fall planting. We start with an hour long lecture-style discussion of the following topics:
-how has the sun moved in the sky and how does that effect your garden
-which new crops are best for planting now in our cooler weather
-how to succession plant for continual harvest through the season
-methods for organic continued fertility
-the basics of organic pest management practices
After that we move on to a hands on demonstration where we use the verdant fields of French Farms to show some hands on techniques like thinning root crops, harvest lettuce and herbs using the "cut and come again" method and farmer Chris French will walk us through his tomato patch so we can see his trellising and pruning methods in action.
