Ask yourself which things you're buying from a certain southern country with a regime that is hostile to Canada. And whether you can grow that at home. I've identified cabbage and carrots as a good fit for my zone (3b) which don't have a Canadian supplier in my local stores. Looks like I'm having a lot of coleslaw this summer and freezing borscht for the fall.

    We grow herbs and spices, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. One problem I've found is that I've never been able to get decent yields out of any root vegetables, have never been sure the issue.

    One nice thing is that some of the Ontario hydroponic Greenhouse lettuces are sold with their roots still attached, so you can the head of lettuce and then plant the base in your garden.
