Hi staci:

Call the Alaska Cooperative Extension phone number at UAF and tell
them you need to talk to a Master Gardener. They'll give you a phone
number. (I don't know who your extension agent up there is, offhand.)
The MG will have extensive local knowledge to share.

If you bought the house you're living in, toodle out to Claire Lammar's
place on Chena Hot Springs Rd. and check out his fruit tree nursery.
Yes -- apple trees, pears, etc. in Fairbanks : ) Claire is wonderful
and very helpful.

Gardening up there is a blast, because stuff grows like *crazy* in the
heat and long daylight.

When we lived in SoCal, I would go to the big box, buy a few sixpacks,
put them in pots, Viola! done.

Now we have moved and have more space, and I would like to put some
flowers along the dirt driveway. Obviously, I am not going to be buying
sixpacks for that. I bought some seed packs at the grocery store. Got
them sprouted in the basement, and have taken them outside now. I put
them in the garage every night so they don't freeze, but what about
during the day?

I wasn't sure about the veggies on the seed display, I will probably buy
some already started in a few weeks.

thanks for your help,
staci
