I have access only to a small, woodsy area in the backyard and a couple of very small greenhouses, one of which houses the motorcycles in winter. But I grow my herbs and what I can grow goes in the freezer or is canned; some is given away as a "bumper" crop.

I see the women in the Mat-Su and near Delta Junction working farms year round, not just in spring/summer/fall. They are amazing!
