Garden Row Cover -
One of the best ways to extend your vegetable season is to use row cover. Row cover is lightweight, breathable polyester fabric which will protect your garden from light frosts. Drape it over your plants and hold in place with clods of earth. You can plant spinach seeds in late fall and even early winter if you then cover them with row cover. They’ll sprout the minute things warm up and you can harvest a spinach crop as early as February. Row cover tunnels can also extend your salad green season in the summer. It protects the plants from the hot sun and can even air-condition them if misted with water twice a day.
