A sturdy but very basic scrap wood frame and plastic tent extended the growing season in USDA zone 7 for tomatoes in the ground until mid/end of November. There was enough heat in there during the day to keep them happy enough at night to keep chugging along, and fresh garden tomatoes in November was a nice treat. Unsure of how this could translates to anything else, esp if you're growing in pots, but lol at that roof tent. Another caveat: the tomato tent attracted every slug. Every single one. It was slug vacation heaven. I never did it again.

Outdoor container gardener in USDA zone 7. Autoflowers for now. Approaching weed gardening as an art, not a science.-
Set out a bowl of beer for those slugs, they cant resist it and it melts them. -
Rwise, we did the beer in empty tuna cans, but there were too many of them. The stale beer, dead slugs, live ones... it was a lot.
