I receive letters often that contain questions on the limits of growing your own food in colder climates like Montana and the rest of the "Redoubt", and sometimes, even broad accusations that regions like this are "incapable" of sustaining food production. Usually, these claims come from people who have never lived here, never built a sustainable garden, or never put any real thought into how to do so effectively. There are numerous methods for growing vibrant gardens in less than perfect weather, and growing in colder northern areas with longer winters is absolutely possible, given the gardener has some brains. In the video series below produced by The Survival Podcast [4], they showcase a very straightforward no nonsense experiment which proves that with a little ingenuity (and rudimentary greenhouse methods) you can indeed grow vegetables regardless of the temperature or the region in which you live. Anyone who says otherwise simply doesn't know what he is talking about...
