16 bugs gardeners should love. Nature advocate: I agree to an extent, however, it might be nearly impossible to do as you speak.
Besides human involvement, there are numerous ways plant and animal species can move around the planet. It's not unheard of for animals to somehow venture outside their existing boundaries, or seeds from plants eaten by birds and deposited farther than normally would appear (And perhaps germinating in just the right conditions... you can see where that goes). My point is, it's seemingly improbable that even with strict planting regulations, you might never see a non-native species. It's also possible that our involvement might be part of the grand scheme of things. As history has taught, some species thrive while others go extinct. However, in the light of that gray area that I seek, it doesn't hurt to make an effort to assist the environment at all as long as nothing is too extreme. At any rate, take care all!

Raised-Bed Vegetable Gardening for Cool Climates. One of the best ways to grow vegetables in cool climates is to plant them on raised beds.
When the soil is elevated it dries more quickly, warms faster and provides deeper soil for the root crops to develop. You can plant earlier in the season and harvest later into the fall. Raised-bed gardening can increase soil temperatures by eight to thirteen degrees over ground level soil temperatures. The soil is more exposed and the sun and wind tend to dry and warm the soil quickly. In cool climates, the spring rains keep vegetable-garden soil wet and cold. Vegetable-garden beds can be raised by mounding the soil with a shovel or rake, using a hiller-furrow attachment on a rototiller or enclosing the soil in wooden frames.
