How wonderful to grow food 365 days a year! Here in Southern BC we are limited to May, June, July, August, and September. But this year we didn't really get any months for growing at all... just heat so bad leaves burned right off the plants. There were no bees, and it only rained 5 times all year. And now the heat is gone and we're getting frost every night. I tried peas a second time because my first crop was singed to death in June, but this one froze. I put hundreds of hours of effort into my garden this year, plus about $100 in seeds, and ended up with about 30 tomatoes, 4 tiny squash, 2 little pumpkins, enough garlic to try again next year, a bag of potatoes, and a few handfuls of beans. Luckily, the local farmers market had food, although it was a lot more expensive than last year. They don't require a health passport... yet.
You know if I could get over there, I would! But unvaccinated Canadians are not allowed to leave the country by any means. We are prisoners here until we take the injections. Many countries are locking down in a similar way now that health passports are in place. Hopefully everybody is where they want to be. Good luck to us all.
