Pushing the Zone in Alaska

By Oberon46

Anchorage, Alaska, has a pretty short growing season, which is cool (55-65 F) and tends to be overcast much of the time. So, having a greenhouse would be great. Not having enough room for one on my urban lot, I fortunately discovered raised beds, and to extend the season, hoop beds. Hope you will enjoy my journey into new gardening worlds.

That's a great use of your space, Mary. You have figured out a way to overcome a good bit of Anchorage's (growing) deficiencies. Way to do.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

Thanks Ken. It is still an uphill learning process but I really enjoy it. Even the failures teach me something. Usually that I am too impatient, don't pay enough attention to what I read. To say nothing of follow thru. But onward and upward.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
