Get ready for whole new vision of year-round self-sufficieny. You'll learn how to plant during summer and care for plants over fall and winter. Includes: how to choose varieties, time your crops (Spoiler alert: Purple Sprouting Broccoli is sown in early summer), and protect your crops in winter. Pierce will take time to answer your many veggie questions, and then we'll tour the nursery to show you his favorite seeds, tools, natural fertilizers, and soils. Get ahead of the season!
