rhubarb / Thanks Jan
Thanks, Jan for your detailed reply. I now khow where and when and how
to plant. Your reply has special meaning because I grew up in the Yukon, your neighbour! We lived in a trailer in a gravel pit so nothing grew there. |

We lived in a trailer in a gravel pit so nothing grew there. Did you grow up in Dawson City or one of the other mining camps? Trailers and gravel pits seem to sprout like mushrooms around miners : ) Rhubarb will grow in mining camp gravel -- I've done it! (Used to gold mine in the 40mile, just across the border from Dawson, and did all of my grocery shopping in Dawson.) You're welcome! Be sure to put some of your earliest rhubarb in the freezer, for sauce over ice cream in the winter. Jan |

(Used to gold mine in the 40mile, just across the border from Dawson, and did all of my grocery shopping in Dawson.) Grew up in Whitehorse area. Have been to Dawson a couple of times, Fairbanks once. Liked Fairbanks very much. Dawson City has excellent soil and sun for growing. Many fantastic gardens in Dawson. Whitehorse does less well but I am not sure why. With Gold doing better more recently there should be a return to gold mining in Alaska and the Yukon. You're welcome!
