This is true.. Greenhouses also have a limited season in Canada. It allows
people to start growing things 4 or 5 weeks early which gives earlier
and sometimes better yields but heating one through our winters would be
near impossible and horribly expensive. My sister has a small greenhouse
and starts a lot of her veggies several weeks early in pots but then
transplants the plants outside for the rest of the season.

I never got into growing veggies up here. The odd time my sister has
brought me up a tomato plant in a pot but I learned in a hurry that
as soon as they started to get close to ripe some wild animal or
other would eat them before I got to them, so I'd need to build a
greenhouse here to protect them too..
