What to Plant in Cold Frames and Hoop Houses in December
Winter doesn't mean closing down your growing operation. With a cold frame, hoop house, or covered row, farmers can keep producing fresh crops even in December's chill. The secret is setting up season extenders like hoop houses (they can reach temps up to 50 degrees warmer than the outside air!) and choosing cold-hardy plants that can handle frost. Our latest guide shows you exactly what to plant this month, from quick-maturing radishes and leafy greens to nutrient-packed root vegetables and even fresh flowers for early spring markets.
