Don’t you love September? The weather is warm, the sun is still up by the time you get home, and so many of the summer crops are ripe for the picking.
Though chilly temperatures are just around the corner, you don’t have to give up fresh food from your own backyard. If you want to extend your growing season and keep those veggies coming, consider getting a cold frame.
As a new intern for GCG, I’ve learned that anyone, most anywhere, can have his or her own garden. Cold frames take this a step further and allow you to have a garden most any time of the year.
Cold frames keep the air inside up to 40 degrees warmer than the outside temperature. Some cold frame vegetables include
Onions
Carrots
Beets
Spinach
Arugula
Kale
Collards
Strawberries
A normal growing season for the Northeast is April-October, but with the help of GCG's cold frames you can extend the growing season from March-December. The thought of fresh strawberries in mid-winter is enough to warm the soul during the wintry weather. Get your own cold frame now and take advantage of our Fall Sale!
