2009 ROADSIDE PRODUCE FOR SALE

You've got a lot going on and seems to produce plenty of edibles. What a wonderful garden.

So nice of you to comment greenthumb. Did you grow up in Alaska?

I came from Idaho, but have been here for many years. Short summers but 24 hours sun so they are grand. I always lack big foliage and am going for more veg this year to change that. I do like fresh from the garden like this.

What veggies and fruit do you grow in Alaska?

Successful fruits are blueberries, currant, raspberries and strawberries. Its hard to get a good fruit tree here, seen some cherry and crabapple tree's, mostly to feed the birds, but there are some apple trees out by a natural hot spring where the ground is warmer. Late frosts are the bloom killer, so you just don't get fruit more than the tree dying. Veggies are cold weather and you can greenhouse tomato, cucumber and such. I'll be trying new things this year, I got laid off and will be growing some food. The greenhouse is going to be loaded! I've got more flower centric each year, so this will be, hopefully, a nice packed veggies patch like yours, great horticulture.
