Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi Jim!

Thanks for the tip! I just moved from northern NH to southern NH last 
year, and I am looking forward to the extended season here, and now i 
can extend it even longer! Is Boston still zone 5? I am interested in 
when you plant and when you usually can harvest until..... I don't 
know many gardeners here along the coast. We are in the city and also 
are container gardening this year..... have you had luck with keeping 
anything inside over the winter?
