Hello all you fellow "dirt diggers" ! I looked on your Members Map and our big state had no pins; so I figured I change that! Yes, even though we are in the cold dark North (that's only half of the year) we take advantage of the long daylight hours in the summer and grow as much as possible. I grow flowers, mostly perennials, raspberries, strawberries, apple trees, cool weather veggie crops in the garden-potatoes, carrots, peas, all kinds of greens, broccoli, and cabbage. I have a greenhouse I use to (try) to grow tomatoes, cukes,squash and bush beans. It certainly keeps me busy in the summer. The winter months get pretty long; but I enjoy beading, reading, participating in various forum groups, online activism, And of course, looking over seed catalogs and planning & dreaming of Spring. coolalaskan
Hello coolalaskan Welcome to the stew from southern Ontario! Winter months feel very long here too. I also pour over gardening books, magazines and seed catalog's to get me thru. And of course, hang out at Gardenstew
Hi there Coolalaskan. :-D So glad you found us here at GardenStew. A warm welcome from a very soggy Scotland.
Hi Coolalaskan, welcome to the Stew from north Texas. Got any pictures of your garden to share with us? We love to see gardens from all over the world. We don't usually have long winter months down here...some years we have long winter days and even a few years we have had long winter hours.
Hi there Coolalaskan, great to have an Alaskan representative onboard You should add yourself to our member map, have a read here GardenStew is a great place to hang out in the autumn/winter! Have fun.

Hello coolalaskan from central Texas.I am interested in you Alaska very much.A friend and her family lives in Kodiac and is a teacher there.Glad to have you here in the Stew.
Hi coolaslaskan Also joined recently. Welcome. I always have these visions of icy cold weather whenever someone mentions Alaska. However, we are just entering Spring and in gardening terms the work just started again. you seem to be growing quite a lot of your own fresh produce. I hope to start doing that myself this Spring and Summer.
Welcome to the Stew :-D I think you're gonna like it! I've seen magazine photos of your beautiful summers and the hanging baskets and the wildflowers. We will visit there someday :-D Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Deanna :-D
Welcome to the Stew So glad to have you with us. I would love to take an Alaskan cruise. You will love the Stew on those long dark days/nights. I am from East Texas and wish we would have at least a weeks worth of winter temps . Of course the weather across the US this year has been really screwy :!: Again welcome
