Growing Cucumbers, Melon, and Squash with Ethan Buchanan-Valenti

Saturday, May 9th from 1–2:30 PM at Beetlebung Farm

This workshop will start with an overview on GROWING, looking at different methods and practices, with a focus on growing regeneratively. We'll then talk about specifics for growing cucurbits (cucumbers, summer squash, winter squash, melons, etc.). We'll discuss tips, tricks, and challenges for the field or garden: everything from sowing and growing to harvesting, serving, and storing. An open Q&A will conclude the class.
