If you believe that elnino will come any minute now, then you expect a mild winter. Do not read this.
However, the physics shows this will be the beginning of the next little ice age. We will have record-breaking winters for years, or decades, or centuries. All of NA's lettuce growing states will be frozen out. Fresh produce will come in gold-plated packages.
Now is the time to start a vertical farm of micro-greens. In Canada, we can count on our electricity and natural gas. We will laugh that those who want to ban natgas.
I have an arrangement of two big flats, and I circulate water through them. All the containers are storage bins. I use clay beads for plant support and I add a bit of miraclegro and kelp to the water. I can trim about 3 or 4 crops before I take it all out and re-seed.
Fresh greens are essential to live a nice California life in the middle of winter. They get earthquakes, and we have snow for skiing. All's good.
