Now the community can look to their indoor options for plants, cultivation, and preparation for next year's grow.

Holsinger speaks on the first few mornings of below 30-degree temps and the unique adaptations that agriculture goes through to survive.

He continued with how plants will be affected by daylight savings coming up along with other weather aspects.
