Cultiver un jardin d'automne : Atelier de semis à Ashville, en Alabama

Keep Your Garden Productive Past Summer — Here’s How

Most gardeners pack it in when the August heat peaks. But in Alabama, late summer is exactly when smart growers are starting their next harvest. This workshop flips the conventional gardening calendar on its head — and that’s precisely why it deserves your attention.

Ce à quoi s'attendre

“Extend the Season: Fall Vegetable Seed Starting 101” is a hands-on workshop hosted by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System (a partnership of Alabama A&M University and Auburn University). You’ll move beyond theory and into practice — learning which vegetables thrive in fall conditions, when and how to start seeds for your region’s frost window, and how to set up planting schedules that keep food coming to your table well into cooler months.

This is learning by doing. Expect direct engagement with seed starting techniques, timing principles, and the kind of practical design knowledge that only comes from working alongside experienced educators in a real agricultural setting. Whether you’re a backyard grower or managing a larger plot, the skills covered here translate directly to more resilient food production.

Pourquoi c'est important pour les permaculteurs

Extending the growing season is a core permaculture strategy — it means observing your climate’s real rhythms rather than following a generic calendar, stacking functions across time, and reducing dependence on industrial supply chains. A productive fall garden is also a community resilience practice: when more households grow more food for more of the year, the whole system becomes stronger. Workshops like this one build the local knowledge base that regenerative living depends on.
