    i really want to have a garden again but i'm afraid the growing window is smaller where i live and also it's a ton of work.

    You can always cheat the system and raise some greenhouse up. Even if you don't put much effort into the greenhouse endevour it is very easy to get 2 extra months of gardening, unless your area is very very bad :-)

    It is true it is a lot of work if you are in it alone. It really pays to have somebody else help you out. I also cheat and have a lot of automation in place.I use weed sheet to prevent random weeds from overtaking the harvest area, I have automatic watering, the usual stuff. It is harder to set up than regular harvesting, but once the start of the season is over you work soooo much less.

    I agree, a greenhouse with raised beds is pretty dang easy compared to the old fashioned methods, and your knees will thank you.

    I use Old Rear Tractor tires for my vegetable beds. I can sit on the edge and pull weeds.
