I can’t imagine growing in Maine.
My front yard is very large. My son is scheming up a greenhouse with one of his friends who is a builder. We have a fairly short growing season. The key to growing is night temps and our temps run a little cold for early growing. Last frost is May 15.
We have a canning kitchen but we gave away all the canning supplies. It’s something I would like to do.
