Think Spring!: "Ontario groundhog says "early spring is coming!" is it time to start thinking "seeds" or pulling out the groundhog? 🦁
Even in the coldest regions, you don’t have to resign yourself to short seasons. From early spring seedlings to late fall harvests, season-extension techniques like cold frames, row covers, and hoop tunnels help your plants thrive when the weather isn’t cooperating. This page introduces the main tools and links to detailed guides so you can choose what fits your garden and style.
Simple, low-cost structures that protect seedlings and early crops. Cold frames and Hotbeds work with your existing raised beds or small plots, giving you a reliable way to start plants before the garden is ready and extend harvests into the fall.
For gardeners looking for more control, greenhouses provide a stable environment for year-round or extended-season gardening. They require more investment and planning but are a reliable solution for cold climates.
