75 Frost-Free Days and Bird Song Just After Midnight

Short growing season? Not enough space? Sore back and knees? Grow crops in containers for a longer season, to fit in more crops, and bend less. If you want to up your game at container growing, or if you're new to gardening and need an inspiring primer, join us on April 14th for a live online class.

We chat with artist, filmmaker, and gardener Arlin McFarlane in Whitehorse, Yukon about gardening in cold climates.

McFarlane produced the gardening show The Curious Gardener, about Yukon farmers and gardeners.

We talk about:

• Gardening when there are only about 75 frost-free days in the growing season
• Gardening on poorly developed soils
• How to grow tomatoes in the far north (spoiler alert: Arlin grows tomatoes!)
• The importance of microclimates
• The show The Curious Gardener
