Well winter is where a good freezer comes in. I'll begin soon to freeze several bags of ulu paste which I'll use until next year for soups and breads, I've already got tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and okra done. The ko'oko'o'lau (sp) is dried and will make tea and the garden generally has lemons during the winter. Low light months to me stress the importance of havinga good sunspot where vegtable starts can be put out early (de tothe increased amount of sun in that area) The sun spot helps us get a headstart on the garden as does a greenhouse. Mine is equipted with three 26w compact florescents which I use for seed germination and that speeds up the processes in terms of overall production from a given space. Also a good idea when putting in fruit trees to look to planting different species since some produce at different times of the year (like avacados and citrus).
