Thanks! Owing to our short growing season we have biased our garden toward things we can put up in some way. This year we were able to run from May 15th to September 23rd. We have been snowed on in the second week of June, and frosted in the third week of August. Most stuff gets started early under lights. The only thing that goes right into the ground in May is potatoes, carrots, and peas. Tender stuff goes in in June, and tomatoes and cukes and things like that grow in seasonal hoop houses.
I am in west Michigan zone 6A.
