"This class taught me how to do this and turned me from a skeptic to a firm believer."
- Kali M.
"When I signed up for the year round gardening course, I really didn’t know what to expect. I invested in a couple of cold frames and planted some spinach and butter crunch lettuce. I planted them in mid October and things went okay. I knew they’d grow slower and in mid December we got slammed with snow and ice. It stayed through mid March so I couldn’t open them up. Many nights were in the teens and single digits. I didn’t expect anything but dead produce when I opened them up. Wow, was I ever surprised. The plants in all the cold frames had quadrupled in size and it didn't stop there. They kept growing at a rapid pace to the point I was giving it away because I had so much. This class taught me how to do this and turned me from a skeptic to a firm believer. I'll be doing it again this next year and experimenting with different varieties of plants. I recommend this course highly." Kali M
Hi, I’m Rick Stone - Lets' learn to plant and grow a Year-Round Garden!
In this class you will learn how to extend your growing season to 365 days a year no matter where you live. Not only will you learn how to have peas in June and tomatoes in August, but you will also learn how to grow tasty veggies in your garden all year long. Including the dead of winter! All using simple, inexpensive structures like mini hoop houses and cold frames.
This is a very in-depth look at everything you need to know about year-round gardening. There is over 5 1/2 hours of content broken into very manageable pieces. Learn what crops to grow, when to plant them and what you need to do to protect your crops so that you can have something to harvest EVERY day of the year.
Winter Gardening
Plant the right kinds of plants at the right time of year and you can have fresh-picked veggies even in the coldest months of the winter. Carrots, lettuce, mache, spinach, Swiss Chard, kale, and more can be ready for you to pick from your hoop houses and cold frames all winter long.
Spring Gardening
Use your cold frame or hoop house to provide a nice warm environment to get your seeds and seedlings started earlier in the spring than you ever thought possible.
Fall Gardening
Fabric row covers and hoop houses will help you extend your growing season well into the late fall. Adding 90 days or more harvest time to your favorite cool-season veggies and even helping to add ripening time for your late summer tomatoes!
Join me to learn everything needed to add this new skill to your gardening toolbox.

"This class was an absolute game-changer for me! Never again will I think gardening ends at the end of summer." - Laura M.
Rick is an excellent teacher, and in this course he lays out how to make the most of your garden throughout the year, regardless of which zone you are in. His teaching is clear and logical, and gives plenty of information, without overwhelming the student with unnecessary details. It is presented in a step by step format that allows time to set up and nurture the garden as the seasons progress. I particularly love the fall and winter gardening instructions. Following Rick's gardening wisdom, I was able to produce an array of fresh produce all through the fall and winter, and into the spring, including carrots, beets (and greens,) spinach, kale, Swiss chard, turnips, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. It doesn't take much space, and I believe, with this course, anyone can have similar results. I look forward to the fall and winter garden even more than I do the spring and summer garden! It's such a great feeling to grow food all year long. I cannot recommend this course enough.

"I just wanted to let you know how much I loved your year round gardening class! I hope that anyone considering signing up will go ahead and do it. They will not be sorry! Not only is your course extremely educational, it is so much fun as well and just gets you really excited about being able to continue gardening long after the summer days are gone!
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire class. The modules are well set up and organized and the live classes are simply great! I learned so much from taking this course. It had truly never occurred to me to extend the season and really didn't know that I could extend it to the length that you've taught. I can not tell you how excited I am to have all of this new knowledge and I'm putting it to good work this year! I'm particularly appreciative of being able to go back to the modules as needed, even though the course is finished and I also love the fact that I can participate in future live classes.
I have dedicated 2 4x8 beds for this year. I have planted carrots, Swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. And will be planting mache."

Hi I'm Rick Stone
Hi guys, I'm Rick Stone and I’m a gardening fanatic! Over the last 25 years I've grown a large garden at my home and it seems like every year that garden gets a little larger! Most years we grow between 800 to 1100 pounds of fresh veggies for our table and tons of great flowers to make our yard look awesome. I grow all of my own seedlings and we have learned how to extend our garden harvest to 365 days a year. Even in our zone 6 garden! Growing in cold frames and hoop houses is the key!! I'm a graduate of the Utah State University Master Gardener program and have been teaching classes for many years on gardening basics and year round gardening. For the last 7 years I have been teaching courses online to nearly 6000 students. Come join me and we will learn everything you need to know to have a successful garden!!
"I’ve been an avid gardener for more than 15 years but wanted to take my skills to the next level." - Nancy G.
"I’d hoped to expand my season from the typical April through September months (zone 6b) into fall and maybe even winter. I took Rick’s Year-Round Gardening class and learned so much! I talked my husband into building a cold frame cover and a mini hoop house for 2 of our raised beds and planted carrots, lettuce, spinach, and mache in the cold frame, and broccoli, cabbage, swiss chard and kale in the hoop house. Oh my gosh! We had so much food from just those 2 beds! Below is a picture of the final harvest of the carrots and some of the broccoli we had in December!
You’ll learn so much from Rick! Not only is he an excellent teacher, he also has a down-to-earth, cost-conscious approach to expand your garden into those cold fall and winter months so you can still have the most delicious vegetables right from your own garden. You won’t regret taking his course."

"Before I took "The Year-Round Gardening Master Course," I was watching multiple YouTube videos of "what to plant in XXX" and was getting confused and overwhelmed with so much information." - Sachiko K.
"So much to do, and I couldn't keep up with all the summer garden work and my regular full time job. Because timing is so important, I used to miss the timing to start the fall/winter crops before I took his course.
Last year I took his course and followed the steps - he broke it down to small pieces of information - in the order I needed to know and take actions, and the course helped me stay on the right tasks to do at the right time. We enjoyed the beautiful fall crops - beets, carrots, nappa cabbages (for the first time!), kale, lettuces, green onions, and Asian greens, to name a few, even into almost December in upstate New York! If I didn't start the fall/winter crops, we would have been done with the leftover tomatoes, eggplants and peppers in September. This spring, my husband built a few hoop houses, and we are looking forward to using them and continue to extend the joy of our gardening!
It feels good to know I don't have to search around what to start when and how, as I know he will hold the class for us to take actions at the right time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experiences and expertise with us who enjoy gardening, Rick!"
