Home Grown Veggies and fruits
I've got a couple acres up in the mountains around redding, ca.. I'm wondering what kind of veggies and fruit I can grow up there to keep myself in the basics year round. I know how to eat the stuff but know pretty much nothing about growing it.
The property is about 4000'. it drops into the twenties and teens in the winter with usually not more than a foot or two of snow on the ground.
I'm assuming I'd need a greenhouse of some sort. I want to keep the bugs and such to a minimum and prefer to have it use little or no power if possible.
I'm guessing things like potatoes are pretty much good to go for that area, but what about things like apples, avocado (miniture/pigmy tree?), banannas, nuts, onions, tomatoes, grapes, broccoli, etc.?
How much of that is doable? How big a greehouse do I need for enough for 4 or less people. Is it possible to have any of these foods year round?
Thanks,
Mark S.

Home Grown Veggies and fruits
So am I correct in assuming I'll need a greenhouse? Will I be able to harvest year round?
How difficult is this to set up and get going? I have no clue whatsoever about all this.
How much work is involved once set up and planted? Is it pretty much just a matter of watering and monitoring?
And the million dollar question is, what kind of success rate can an utter newbie to the greenhouse mini farm expect?
Thanks,
Mark S.

Can anyone point me to a good wesite or other reading material that might deal with what I'm describing in the type of climate I'm talking about so that I can do some research?
Thanks,
Mark S.
