@Hinotori would a short season, plants started early, work? But then, cornmeal is pretty cheap.

That time of year when we all get excited & outdo ourselves -- especially with seed selection quantity😵‍💫

I've bought many gallons of milk for these 3 bottle baby goat kids. Idea crossed.my mind to use them as mini greenhouses to start some pepper & tomatoes plants this year right in their garden spots. I'm still buying more :th

Some of them. I always check how long for growing season. Going to try luffa but its going to be under hoop so I can cover with greenhouse plastic.

Squash grows very well here. Sometimes needs a night tarp in September.

There are actually 5 seasons. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Mud.

if there has been any kind of rain here i have to take an extra pair of shoes for gardening and i keep a large knife in my bucket or pocket for scraping the mud off the shoes before i put them in the bucket. the clean shoes stay on the pathway (except for when i forget one or the other). pretty much the best thing is to avoid gardening if it is muddy but not always possible.
