I thought I would share some pics from this years growing season, since it's cold here now and I already miss the weather.

Thank you!
I'm in northeastern Maryland. The zone seems to be 6b/7a, and I think that has changed over the years.
Yes, a lot of work for sure, it sounds like you're doing it up right, though.
Speaking of wood chips, I recently watched this movie on the subject. The guy just keeps piling on wood chips year after year, mimicking nature in a way. Sounds like what they call permaculture nowadays.
He quotes some scripture throughout, but I found it so informative otherwise, it is well worth watching, even if you're not into that aspect.
Back to Eden: http://backtoedenfilm.com/#movie
My sister, whom I garden with, just showed me the same movie a few nights ago!
The scripture bits were a bit odd for me as a devout Atheist, but I did not find them pushy or distasteful.
We have been sheet mulching and doing similar things, but have a mounded row like system, would like to put in some drip as well this season.
Do you have a greenhouse or some indoor lights for starting seeds? I think I am going to get some used medical marijuana grow supply for my garden this year for starts.
I visit North Eastern PA every summer and am thinking about moving in a few years from warm CA to start a farm there... Don't know if I would last the winters though...
I start all my seedlings in the basment under 4ft flouro shop lights. I use a heat mat for tomatoes, peppers and other summertime crops. Works great.

I also have an old 400w high pressure sodium light that I use just before setting them out, because I run out of room under the flouros. I start tomatoes and peppers for a few people.
There are a few things you can get through the winter, like cole crops, with the help of straw for insulation and row cover here. You would be a little farther north than me.
I can give lettuce a nice kick start indoors. Then I can transplant at the distance needed. Eliminates thinning.

Just push in the plug.

Works great for all the leafy greens.
