I'm at 45 N latitude, the average frost was, in most areas, from mid-September to early October. If I grow in a greenhouse, how late will I be able to harvest?

How long does a greenhouse lengthen the growing season?

Green houses allow for year round growing, as you are in a micro climate - like a rainforest (sort of).
I suggest reading this book. Eliot Coleman has many cold weather growing cooks, for vegetables but it is what you make of it..

This may be unnecessary, but recognize the difference between a cool house (unheated) (often in the form of a hoop house) and a greenhouse (heated).
