Homegrown: Winter gardening & how to build your own greenhouse

00:15 Lydia Sisson introduces the topic of winter gardening and mentions that they still have crops growing and will be planting more today.

00:48 Lydia talks about the types of vegetables that do well in winter, such as romaine lettuce, arugula, and broccoli.

01:20 Lydia demonstrates how to build a simple cold frame using PVC pipes and clamps.

02:06 She advises that the spacing between the PVC hoops should be about three feet apart to accommodate a top piece of plastic or row cover.

02:39 Lydia mentions that using greenhouse plastic is ideal for colder temperatures, but a clear shower curtain can work as well.

03:36 She explains the process of securing the plastic to the raised bed using boards screwed into the plastic for a firm seal.

04:10 Lydia provides two options for securing the end side of the bed: temporary holds like rocks or continuing the same system used for the other sides.

05:08 Lydia mentions that winter gardening takes some initial time investment but is worth it to have fresh produce all fall and winter long.
