    I fancy myself a 'farmer' in my 4x5 feet raised bed so this is good info to have if you want to get started in this personal enrichment activity. My observation of my zone 7(b) are plants that I would expect to wither away early in the Fall are sticking around for much longer time frame. Some even going into the Winter months before they lose vitality. That's good but bad over time. The other negative not mentioned on the article are the insects, mosquitos to be more exact. I've been following the migration of dengue from the south to the north and that's something that I fear over time will be in my door step.
