Creating a greenhouse effect in Interior Alaska
Have you ever wondered just how we grow things up here in Interior Alaska? Many think it’s always cold but believe it or not we DO get into the 80’s, 90’s and sometimes even 100’s in mid-summer. Our challenge actually is extending our season simply because our growing season does not start “officially” until June 1st and it ends on August 31st. If you have ever grown much, you’ll know that is not a whole lot of time to get most plants growing!
So we use low hoop house tunnels, greenhouse plastic, and even a make-shift greenhouse tent to try to extend our season some.
Over time I’m going to be trying to do a combination of Youtube and written articles here. Let me know which is your favorite!
