I love your blog, but just started reading a few weeks back – so haven’t covered most of your archives yet. What a joy when searching for “alaska gardening food” turned up this gem of a post! I was trying to brainstorm downsides to moving to Alaska (if anyone in the family could find work up there, LOL), and gardening came to mind . . . but looks like that is still possible there, so wouldn’t be a dealbreaker at all!

At the fair I had my favorite fair food…a fry bread taco! I totally missed the 907 pound pumpkin! Guess I now have an excuse to go back next year.

Arugula! You just reminded me to plant some of my own. Looks delicious!

Willi! Dang it, girl! I was JUST up there! I got back late last night. I was at the fair, too. Did you see the 907lb pumpkin? Some friends of mine got some veggies from a farmers market up in the Valley, but I missed it. Waaaaaayyyyy better than what I could find in the store.

Thanks for the travel garden pics. I’m always amazed by what people can grow so far north. Did you eat anything good at the fair?

I love Alaska and seeing your pics makes me want to be there again. I had heard of their supersized vegetables. I guess it was true
