Workshop: Autumn/Winter Veg Growing
While we often think of food growing as a spring and summer pursuit, almost all growing spaces have the capacity to continue growing delicious vegetables all the way through winter.
In this workshop you’ll learn basic organic food growing principles and techniques and leave ready to keep your vegetable plants feeding you through the year. You’ll discover how to grow healthier, more abundant crops that can have additional benefits to wildlife in London, and help you become more self-sufficient.
We’ll look at:
What you can and can’t sow and grow for autumn and winter and the unique microclimate London offers for small scale food growers
Positioning and protecting your food plants to get the most from them
A demonstration of seed sowing, and recommendations of organic seed suppliers
Growing and harvesting for a (near) continuous supply of food through the winter
The differences in annual, biannual and perennial vegetables and their seasonal benefits
This session is ideal for anyone who wants to broaden their veg growing knowledge, and will leave you more confident to grow throughout the year.
