Anything needing tropical environment has to make do indoors in Missouri. This kinda limits my selections, since I don’t have a green house.

I grow some spinach, lettuce, herbs, peppers, tomatoes, and lemons, which pretty much is all the space I have in front of the patio door.

I’s like to have a 10-11 ft x 12 -14 ft green house/garden room attached to the house so that I can just walk into it without going outdoors. Maybe even have a small table and chairs for sipping tea or coffee and snacks, with any easy chair for reading and drooling over seed catalogs.LOL.

Your climate is mild enough that a temporary greenhouse attached to your home should do well. frame structure with recycle glass or visqueen cover would do nicely great for early starting plants and wintering over cold sensitive plants. You can grow lots of fruits outside that we can not here apples , pears, peaches come to mind they need some cold hardening to be viable.
