I hope you get your greenhouse!

The garden state! Coastal Maritime climate? Probably a lot you can do in that temperature range and annual rainfall!

They don't call NJ the 'Garden State' for nothing!
Did you know that Campbell soup company is located (founded) in Camden, NJ?
That's because of the close proximity to the Jersey tomato.
Eat a can of Campbell's tomato soup - and you are eating Jersey tomatoes.

But of all of the other places I've lived, the Umpqua River valley
around Roseburg, Oregon had the best growing climate for almost all
fruit and vegetables. It has milder winters than here.

But Jersey's okay. Not going to grow anything tropical here
of course. No pineapples, or avocados, or almonds or whatever.

But tomatoes, peaches, blueberries, etc. we're good.
In fact, the specie(s) of blueberries that we now eat were developed
by Rutgers University in the NJ Pine Barrens.
(More New Jersey 'Agro-Trivia' - LOL)

One thing that I don't think can be grown here are pecans.
I love pecans. Is it possible? (I think they like warmth.)
I'll have to look that up. (Just did - Georgia is for pecans.)

Happy gardening!
