Fall Gardening -  Late Vegetables and Winter Cover Crops

Tuesday, August 12, 6:30-8:30 pm

Cornell Cooperative Extension, 615 Willow Avenue, Ithaca NY

Cost: $5-$10 (sliding scale)

Late summer is a great time to plant salad and cooking greens, cilantro and peas for fall harvest. It's also the best time to plant garlic for spring harvest, and over-wintering cover crops can also be sown now to suppress perennial weeds and add fertility and organic matter to soils. Learn which vegetable crops are suitable for fall planting and when to plant them, how to use cover crops in a home garden, and how sheet mulching in fall can make gardening next spring easier!

Registration is required so that we have participants contact information in the event of cancellation. For more information or to register, call 272-2292 or email cab69 AT cornell.edu
