Cool-Season Gardening: Growing Fall & Winter Edibles with Bill Thorness
According to Seattle writer and gardener, Bill Thorness, those of us growing in the cool climate surrounding Puget Sound can harvest delicious food all year round.
Developed over many years of trial and error, Thorness' tips, tricks, and techniques include season extension, proper timing and variety selection as well as sustainable, year-round soil improvement strategies. Best of all, he loves to share what he's learned over the years with gardeners around the Sound.
