I’m barely a novice gardener, so as we transition from our summer garden to our fall garden I’m out in search of any information that can help me be successful. I’m going to try my hand at fall/winter gardening for the first time this year so I’m reading up on exactly how to go about that.  I need to know what to plant, when to plant it and how to protect it from the unpredictable weather.  

I love taking the boys to the bookstore to “read” and play trains while I go through gardening books and I love visiting our local garden center, Gardens of Babylon.  While I was on their website looking for details on their building cold frames workshop I came across these cool Grow University videos, including one on fall and winter gardening.  Check it out!  There’s also one on using strawberry plants as ground cover.  Sounds like a lot of work, but it’s a great idea.  Maybe I can get my husband on that one.
