All seem to cover growing and harvesting year round.<br /><br />On page 82, chapter 9, freeze tolerant crops; mache/corn-salad, spinach, arugula, scallions, carrots, leeks for zone3/4 in a cold frame. Maybe cress also?<br /><br />Bubble wrap: Yep; in my drafty old house, it is being used for things it probably was not originally intended for.
