Kyla Dixon-Muir presents : Season Extension Techniques : Coldframes

Kyla Dixon-Muir, Development Coordinator at Riverdale Meadow Community Garden in Toronto, has been in the garden every single week – including right through the winter - for a number of years.

She grows foods in a wide range of low-cost and no-cost ColdFrames, some of which require construction skills, many of which do not. Kyla also applies Season Extension Techniques to get as much as a two-month head-start on growing foods for the warmer seasons.

There will be even sweeter strawberries available this coming Market day. It's a short season and there's no guarantee if they'll be around on Canada Day. So don't miss out! Buy 'em up, you can always freeze them for great smoothies or on ice cream. Yummy!
You have been warned ;-)
