I think they have something like that in the Vancouver area, I'm going to have to check it out.
We got a late start but a few weeks ago I started my fall garden in my patio boxes. My summer garden due to human vandals and squirrels didn't fair so well but I'm not giving up. I've got chicken wire installed.
