I hope so too. Vicarious living during the winter helps! I did see a book about 4 season gardening written by someone who lives in New England.

Looking at the contents, I believe he use a covered hotbed of compost, but so many plants need the extra hours of daylight. It looked like we would get the greenhouse this fall, but then hubby got laid up, and we decided to wait.

Thanks, greeneyes!
We compost weeds and other yard waste, but attracting predators is too risky here. The mastiffs from next door, coyotes and bears were visiting our property daily. I can’t grow or compost in the fenced in area, because our dogs would destroy everything.

We have containers that are waist high on the deck and one in the front yard where we grow all of our vegetables.
