Zone 6a here and part of our winter crops are in. We hoop our raised beds with 6 mill plastic. Most of it will be ready to harvest before 1st frost but should go through a few weeks afterwards. Our September planting should last through December.
We grow lettuce, kale, peas, beets, carrots and are trying beans this year.
That is wonderful. Peas? Interesting. I think I shall try that this year. I have confidence that beans will do well in Zone 6a. I would love to see a picture of your hoop garden. Thanks for sharing.
