90. How to Garden in a Cold Climate

Between late frosts in the spring, early frosts in the fall, blizzards in the middle of May, and everything in between, Wyoming is one of the most difficult climates you’ll find to grow a garden.  So I do I combat this every year?  I focus on understanding the frost cycle and only grow what will thrive in our zone.  I start seeds inside to capitalize on prime growing season.  Learn why you should be leery of the big box stores and why working with local suppliers who know your zone is crucial.  If you’ve thought gardening was impossible in your area, this show is an absolute must listen!>>Click here to access your very own raised bed guide!  https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/raisedbedguide>>Ready to kick your growing into high gear?  I’ve put together a comprehensive seed staring guide which can be found here:  https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2016/02/seed-starting-guide.html>>Garden Printables and My Favorite Vegetables.
