High points and droops from Alaska gardening column topics over the years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the many years writing this column, I have followed a few basic rules. Be careful about writing about cats. Keep columns organic at all cost. Never pull âan Ann Landersâ by reusing a column. And lately, encourage the reduction and elimination of plastics. Now, the regular reader may scratch her head over the no-Ann-Landers rule. I do repeat myself in a way. After all, I have to write about starting tomatoes every year or have a diatribe about those who fail to get some sort of indoor li
Itâs the time of the season to consider indoor growing and light systems (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This time of year you canât help but start thinking about âthe end.â We hear all this stuff about how we are warming faster than any other place on earth and how we will be having a super El Niño starting soon, but none of it is of concern. The fact of the matter is our outdoor growing season is going to end soon no matter how much global warming we record this year. You have to expect this end. Forget all that pushed clickbait about how warm it is getting and how this warming will cause
Wolf spiders, a horrifying but fairly harmless arthropod (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I did a backward jump the first time I saw the spider I call Wolfie. She skittered cross the bathroom tiles as I shaved. I know now that I was observing a wolf spider belonging to the family Lycosidae, not that that matters (though there are more than 200 species roaming the hills and dales of in North America). Up close (and far away), wolf spiders are fierce-looking creatures, even to someone who is not scared of spiders, at least in the way he is of snakes. I deal with the snake fear by livin
Times have changed and so have gardening shoes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My father had really big feet for someone in his day. They were size 13. This was back when basketball wasnât popular and apparently there were not enough big-footed people to support stores that carried shoes for people with really big feet. Today I donât know where all the big feet have come from; they apparently were not around in dadâs day. My father actually had his shoes made by the neighborhood shoemaker. It seems strange to have a shoemaker nearby and working wonders with leather a
Peonies are an ideal Alaska flower. Hereâs how to prep and care for the plants. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My friend David has a peony farm outside of Palmer. His plants produce an impressive number of flowers. He doesnât sell them, but rather gives them away at his store here in town. This year, his field of dreams (which, when the crop is at its peak, is just that) was hit by the unusual spring weather. The result? A complete lack of flowers. For a few weeks now, he has been insisting that I need to write a column to alert readers that their peonies are, in fact, still very much alive and should
