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.

Thank you for this very good photo article! I have enjoyed reading it, and especially enjoyed the photos. It will help me to rethink some things I am doing here.

You should have a bit warmer weather than us although we are blessed with a Japanese current where I live right on the coast of the inlet to the Port of Anchorage. It was fun writing it and even more fun looking for pictures to go with it. It sort of wrote it self in pictures.
