								Growing and marketing fresh fruits and vegetables is a challenge in our short growing season. Hoophouses can extend the growing and marketing season by allowing produce to start earlier and continue latter in the season. Rebecca Harbut, UW-Extension Fruit Crop Specialist, will discuss the basics cultural practices of growing fruits and vegetables under plastic high tunnels.  Participants will see a recently constructed hoophouse at the Research Station. Pre-registration is appreciated.
