Information shared to the whole list might also be appreciated. I may not live
in a zone known for extreme cold as in Montana, but in my exceptionally cold
pocket of New York's Finger Lakes, I rarely get more than 12 frost-free weeks.

Cold-hardy agroforestry, greenhouses (look up Elliot Coleman,) and
well-designed homes seem to be key.

Who else is growing/living in zone 4 or colder?
