Kersbergen answers fall harvest questions for BDN
Richard Kersbergen, a University of Maine Cooperative Extension educator on sustainable dairy and forage systems, spoke with the Bangor Daily News about fall gardening. Kersbergen said he wanted to let readers know it’s not too late to do another round of planting for fall harvest. He spoke about ideal crops for late-season planting, such as spinach, beet greens, turnips and arugula, and suggested using low tunnels, or a polyester material laid over crops, to protect them from early frosts.
