Yes, we are getting down to the end of even the the most cold hardy garden plants- Which is why you really need to investigate your first (low tech, USSR
BTW, did you like your beans? Growing here in central MN, I have had good luck over 4 years growing out drying type POLE beans- I can recommend "Dolloff" as an excellent baking bean which can produce 12 + pounds dried weight of beans from a 25' row on 8' tall trellis or strings in my garden
And also would recommend "True Red Cranberry" pole beans which are the ULTIMATE chilli bean ever, IMHO. After 8 seasons growing them in MN, I can attest that these are nearly as productive as the Dolloff beans IF you get about a 3 week longer growing season, which I have managed about 70% of the time... This year I got over 11 lb. dry beans from a 25' row.
If there is snow cover (S. Central NY) , & the deer don't dig down to find them, most of my kale, mustard, arugula, & a few other greens, survive til spring. Nice to have fresh stuff whenever I want it. :)
Great photos. The one with Eurasia is a wonderful alternative universe that is just there naturally.

Damn, that's a good question and a good answer

The deer ate mine down to the ground, alas.
I responded by eating one of them, turnabout is fair play.
