One Alaskans greenhouse

[Alasgun]

The Potato’s are on their way to the Barn for a couple days, cool as the evenings are i’ll just cover them and leave a fan on of an evening.
Normally i’ll dig 80lbs from one of these beds, im guessing there’s at least 110lbs in the cart. I’ll weigh them once i bag em, some biggies in there too! I’ve been threatening to replace the Purple Moly’s with something less scab prone, hopefully i’ll get that done this year. They still eat fine but they sure are ugly. The Red Norlands are resistant and do well year after year.

And then this evening this slick young cow paid us a visit. Right now there’s still plenty to eat and the only thing that she seemed interested in was the Apple & Cherry tree; fortunately both are inside the chain link!
Lot’s of folks complain each year about loosing whole gardens to them, which i don't understand. It’s too much work and expense to not provide protection!

This is what garden fertilizer looks like before going thru “the Rabbit mill”! This is one years worth and once it completes the cycle (next year at this time) it will be very nice Compost and equally divided between the beds!

This year’s completed batch is seen in these 9ea - 32 gallon Brute containers, one for each bed. Perfect! They’ll winter here and get moved up to the garden in the spring.
You can also see, in the bin; this years Garden refuse, grass clippings and about 1 ft. of leaves. Thru the winter i’ll dump roughly 30 - 5 gallon bucket’s of Rabbit poop & spent hay in this bin and in the spring i’ll start turning it.
It’s perpetual, never ends and never goes away, always the same. Nothing leaves the farm and i pay close attention to any thing coming onto the place, Rabbit feed, soil amendments etc. making sure we stay Organic!
I like to tell people, “you can even eat the dirt”.

With snow forecast in a couple days i took the tour and gathered up some Parsley, Cilantro, a few very immature crooknecks and a few Comfrey sprigs.

Earlier today i was going thru some old work pictures and wondered if you might like this Polar Bear? He spent most of the day on that jut of land and i must have 100 different shots of him. This was within 15 miles of the Arctic ocean!

Beautiful pictures. I would have probably had a heart attack seeing that polar bear

Set up the “winter cuke hootch” this afternoon. 8 weeks till first fruit then for 4/5 more months after that. Seeds are in the ground.

The outer walls knock up or down pretty easily and the sticks on top are moveable to accommodate what ever im growing at that time.

This is in the shop which has “floor heat” so even when the garage door is opened daily, the temp in this little hootch remains constant.

I love your year round veggie growing!

Now that the very last Cucumbers and Parsley were taken from the greenhouse and the heat shut down; i feel a little bit like a fish out of water!

Freezing temps both day and night now, means it was also time to shut the Rabbits in for the winter as well.

I do still have cucumbers, mint and comfrey in the house and a new batch of cucumber starts out in the shop along with a couple new fly rod builds so i wont be twiddling my thumbs this winter.

It was a great year, with the greenhouse running from the last week in March until today, giving us our longest season to date!

Thanks you Lord.
