"Grow a garden? I imagine there are some people out there with enough land, enough seed stored, enough southern exposure, etc that they could grow a garden and live off it... until about October..."

Depends on where you live. Some of us can garden year-round, and when you know how to freeze, can and dehydrate the stuff, you eat year-round regardless.

Hey if this sounds dumb tell me, but what about those topsy turvy indoor tomato, cucumber..(anything on a vine that isn’t huge like a melon I guess) growers....

Couldn’t those be used year-round indoors in areas where there is a lot of cold weather/snow??
