If you aren't familiar in the farming world, winter is referred to as the "dark" or "dead" season given that trees go dormant and temperatures drastically slow down activity in the soil. As the chill in the air intensifies and the days get shorter, nature provides a burst of vibrant flavors to brighten our winter palates – citrus fruits.
As winter descends upon us, it may feel like gardens are barren, but there's a hidden gem that thrives in the colder months - winter squash, hence the name. On top of withstanding the chill, winter squash also brings a burst of color, flavor, and nutrition to our tables.
Imagine a gardening practice so easy, so effective, that it transforms your soil into a nutrient-rich haven for your plants, all while requiring minimal effort on your part.
