The cold weather is coming, but that doesn’t mean we’re done growing!
In fact, we’re just getting ready for the winter season. At Story Harvest on October 20th, we’re going to be planting some cover crops in the garden for the winter season. Cover crops, or “green manures,” are used to preserve healthy soil and prepare the garden for future planting.
Come help us plant our cover crops! We are planning on planting winter wheat, soft white winter wheat, spelt, (anything else?) at Story Harvest. Experience is welcomed, but not necessary!
Do you have a favorite over-winter cover crop? Let us know. Tell us your experience with cover crops!
Cornell Cooperative Extension provides a great resource for cover crop information:
