My Alaska garden [View all]

Spring came early this year. My garden has been in for about a week and looks pretty happy. With our long days, everything grows fast.

Rhubarb and strawberries along the fence. Columbines, wild roses and forget-me-nots in the corner.

Tomatoes, cucumbers and hot peppers in the greenhouse
