Quick question, don't know if I have asked this before. What is your hardiness zone? Maybe you can still get some harvest before winter. Alternatively, growing a small amount of crops indoors in containers? My knowledge of homesteading is limited to what I read, not from experience.
6, but we have had some crazy weather the last few weeks as I'm sure many have.
Well, at least you still have a couple of months before your first frost. Just a thought on my part, use it or lose it. What about raised beds and hoop houses? I'm a big fan of James Prigioni's version.
