Extend your growing season and harvest through the winter

If you missed the class on late season seeding and temporary hoop houses, fear not. We've got what you need to be able to extend your growing season.

 Our guest speaker, Barbara Bash has put up hoop houses for two winters now. Last winter, which was so mild, she harvested greens and other cool weather crops ALL WINTER!

 The year before, which had a much colder (traditional North Eastern) winter, she was still able to harvest through New Years! Two extra months is pretty amazing, especially when you're utilizing a vegetable garden that is already prepped.

 We now have the specialty supplies at Victoria Gardens, so you too can put up a winter hoop house and extend your growing season. (You can also set up smaller hoop houses. For her demonstration, Barbara set up a small house with only two "hoops".

 Stop by the store, we have a demo house set up and we can walk you through the (very easy!) process of setting one up yourself.

Vic' picks - Late Summer Color

Crocosmia adds splashy color to a background of ornamental grass. 

Golden Jenny carpets the ground in shade or sun.

Endless Summer hydrangea is simply dreamy. Pair this everbloom shrub with the long flowering yellow Knockout roses and you will be rewarded with soft complimentary colors from June to November!

 

Platycodon grandiflorus 'Shell Pink' looks delicate with it's soft pink color, but it's deer resistant, tough, and cold hardy - a sturdy perennial that will bloom year after year.

Put down seeds in mid-September, and harvest kale and arugula through New Years! We'll show you how.
