Learn to extend the growing season on your (future?) Northern Nevada farm

I was reading something a few weeks ago (I didn’t save it so can’t site the source…bad librarian!) that said 108,000 new farms were developed last year. Not huge agribusiness farms but small 3 – 100 acre farms that grow real food. Woo hoo!

Hoop houses are just one season extension technique. This is a picture of Leslie Allen inside one of the Lattin Farms tomato hoop houses. Thanks to Ann Louhela for the picture!

Until a couple of years ago I used to spend September getting ready to transition to the supermarket produce mind-set. Then I learned that it is possible to grow food even when it's cold outside. Now we get our fresh veggies from late season CSAs, and at least some of it from our own garden. Now you too can learn how to grow food during the cool season.
