RE: Any zone 3 sq ft gardener's?

Jackie,

I'm nowhere near zone 3, but I'd love to hear updates as you go through the
gardening season. I grew up in zone 8 and thought I had it hard since I
moved to zone 5 -- I can't even imagine the challenges you face in zone 3!

I remember seeing a show on cable about folks who do a lot of harvesting of
wild foods up there. What kind of stuff does well that far north? Just
curious. :-)

Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new to the list and this method...just put in 7 raised
bed's.  I'm zone 3, which is a challenge for many vegetables.
I'm hoping to connect with anyone else in zone 3 who has
been using the sq ft method.

Because of our long days in Alaska things do grow fast,
but temp's at night are still cool.  I am trying tomatoes
and peppers in my new green house because they just
don't produce otherwise. 

I've always gardened organically but I picked up Jeavons
book, "How to Grow More Vegetables : Fruits, Nuts, Berries, 
Grains, and Other Crops..." and decided to try the raised
bed garden.

So...Any Zone 3'ers out there?
Jackie
