RE: Garden and green house update from Alaska

in #homesteading6 years ago

Wheee! I knew you'd get those strawberries flourishing. Way to go!

Love the tour, keep'em growing. I can't imagine growing crops in Alaska but you sure make it seem like regular gardening. We're heating up in Oklahoma, had a fluke day yesterday in the 70s.

Thanks! We hit a high of 74° the other day, I felt like I would melt!

LOL that's funny! My son said his ideal temps are in the 60s and I don't blame him. It's too humid here where we are - hot and sticky humid. 🙄

60’s still bring a chill. 70’s are nice, but after 70 it’s melty. We’re we are we are tilted towards the sun so we get the intense burn on the skin like you would in the desert, but at 70°

high 60s and low 70s are realllly nice 👍Whoa, like you get sunburn at 70? That's surprising.

I want Alaska freeze for the bugs here come winter time. Do you have problems with spider mites there?

Yeah I have a sun burn/red tan already.
Winter donesnt kill the bugs. The bugs freeze and thaw. We have mini flow that bite and leave welts that itch, no see’ums, and mosquitos. Wehavea lot of spiders, Wolf spiders and some other freaky ones, also some pretty ones.
