I have been following Matin Armstrong with his computer program "Socrates" which picks up these cycles and he warns of the coming mini iceage and encourages folks to start growing food indoors (in a controlled environment). We have taken his advise and have set up our indoor grow room which i have been posting on - now at part 11 in the series. I posted about my indoor gardening experience with hopes that people can learn from my experience.
The latest post (which also shows the snow on April 1st - and it snowed here yesterday April 6 too, making us wonder if spring will ever come) that will have the list of all previous posts in the series is at: https://steemit.com/gardening/@porters/april-fools-day-and-spring-is-playing-tricks-on-us-plus-indoor-garden-update
