Late-Season Fruits & Vegetables: What to Start, Plant, Harvest

August 22 | 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Looft Hall at Iowa Western

Council Bluffs Campus - Cost: $30


Late-season gardening is about precision and planning. In this class, you’ll learn how to push
your garden beyond the traditional growing season using cold-hardy crops and strategic timing.
We’ll cover what can still be planted late in the season, what should already be established, and
how to manage crops through frost and colder temperatures. You’ll also learn about
overwintering techniques, cold frames, and how to protect crops for extended harvests. This
class is ideal for gardeners looking to maximize production and maintain fresh food availability
as the season winds down.
