Welcome back everyone to the Epic Gardening Podcast. Hope you are doing

awesome. I'm doing awesome and even more so because Nicky Jabour is back on the

show. She is an award-winning author, her biggest book, the

one actually I first bought, well to be honest I bought all three at once Nicky, but the

year-round vegetable gardener, groundbreaking food gardens and veggie garden remix, her newest book growing under cover, Relulge. Groundbreaking Food Gardens and Vegetie Garden Remix.

Her newest book Growing Under Cover released in December of 2020.

You can go grab a copy of that, highly recommended.

Today we are going to round out some of the practical uses of garden covers.

We're talking about extending the harvest, just another one of the many benefits.

I know for me, what I do, Nicki, is I don't necessarily use it to extend the harvest on the front and back end of the season because we don't actually have a killing frost, but I do use it to extend the harvest season to season like pushing a summer crop a little bit further

than it might normally or maybe starting a summer crop a little bit earlier than I would.

Right, right. That makes perfect sense.

I love hearing about, you know, because we have such different climates, Kevin, I love hearing about, you know,

how you use covers or even just how you grow food because I think there's so much

to learn.

No matter what climate you live in, we can all learn so much from each other I totally agree yeah I mean I I learn a lot from people with more

stringent or unforgiving climates because you really can make less mistakes let's just be

honest it's it's simply easier I think to grow in my climate and so I can be less

precise and I can make more mistakes and not pay the price whereas you actually will

pay the price if you miss your window, you know?

And I have.

Yeah.
