Gardening at high altitude has its challenges, but so many rewards, especially when you are in community with other growers. Season Extension Kits are designed to extend the growing season by covering and protecting sensitive crops when the weather cools down overnight. Kits include a 20 x 10 ft piece of Agribon-19 row cover, a 20 x 10 ft piece of Agribon-50 frost blanket, and 5 metal hoops.
Season Extension
Growing at this elevation can be a challenge when it comes to weather! We may experience frosts throughout each month of the season. Garden Manager, Jess recommends checking the forecast on multiple apps or sources very regularly - when temperatures dip below 40 degrees, cold-sensitive plants will need to be covered or they may die or become damaged.
You can cover your plants with row cover draped over hoops or other structures and secured at the sides. These will protect plants from harsh temperatures. SCG-EATS sells season extension kits, designed to fit the garden plots.
