Still have weeks to go, you will see the calyxes and pistils overgrow all those sugar leaves. That enclosed porch should give you a nice long finish.

If you get some LED lightbulbs (just the ordinary household bulbs), you can grow indoors while you wait for the next outdoor growing season. You could just grow small plants (small containers, small growing space; top the plants to keep them short and bushy). It wouldn't take many bulbs. You might need to supply some heat if your climate is cold.

My point is: you don't need to grow big. Just one small plant can be a way to get some experience while you wait.

EDIT: "Teaming with Microbes" is a good book to read (about healthy soil). I have a copy here. (<<link)
