Yes, however gardening at my altitude and micro climate is not like anything else out there.

I have a greenhouse, but even that is of limited utility.

My grandparents ran a commercial greenhouse in the Denver metro area for many years.   My LEO dad always insisted we grow a Victory garden every summer.... we had a simple backyard greenhouse.    Knowing how to grow things was a requisite skill drummed into  our heads by my Great-Grandmother....  whose family survived the Russian revolution - because they knew how to grow things...
 
The challenge for a successful greenhouse is temperature regulation.
 
If I was going to build a greenhouse today, I'd incorporate SHCS into the design.   "The magic of phase change from liquid to vapor and back again drives the SHCS...."
 
 
Teaching folks to meet, and be responsible for meeting, their basic needs can make a difference between Fire in the Minds of Men leading to Freedom - or to its burning down the village instead....
 
A FRee Republic, is not a Starvable Republic.
