RT @nick_routledge: I've been teaching PNW winter cropping with Andrew Still @AdaptiveSeeds for almost two decades now. On June 10, we're tag-teaming, with live stream attached, yet again. Andrew and I like to mix it up: seed-saving on overwintered Brassicas, a sure topic this year. @agrariansharing

Saturday, June 10, 1.00 p.m. - 3.00 p.m. Cottage Grove Public Library 700 E Gibbs Ave, Cottage Grove, OR 97424 Yes, it’s early! But mid-to-late June is when experienced local farmers and gardeners seed the great majority of vegetable crops feeding us through winter. Please join us for a workshop, conversation and seed exchange focused on our 'longest harvest season of the year’. We’ll be talking crops, timing, tactics, slugs and a whole lot more. Our instructors, Andrew Still of Adaptive Seeds, and Nick Routledge of the Agrarian Sharing Network, have extensive experience raising field and greenhouse crops into the October-through-May harvest-window. They have been teaching winter cropping for PNW farmers and gardeners since 2003.
Mid-to-late June in W. Oregon, we seed crops accounting for the backbone of our year-round cropping systems. Why? The Oct-May 'fall-winter harvest' feeds us most of the year. With day length now declining, the race to size up plants for the long haul has begun. @CultivateOregon x.com/covidyoga/status/1542532919557648385
