Interesting channel you have shown us that watch your channel. It's very informative and good content for armchair travelers.

[@ScottsLifeOffGrid]

You are so prepared, I really like your spreadsheet. The Spaghetti Western music did not go unnoticed 🙂

[@ptlfabrication569]

Very well done video. I bought my wife a green house, if I don't put it up soon, I'll be in the dog house.

[@beesandseeds]

So gorgeous there. My grandma is from Alaska. Such a beautiful place to be.

[@camilleschoonover4789]

I admire how you research the things you do for planting and just making your life better. Can’t wait to see your crop this year!! Loved the Sasquatch walking pass your window!!!😂

[@joycewedel9084]

I love container gardening as I'm a senior alone that has balance issues & muscle loss from Spinal Stenosis so I can't do digging or tilling so I had bought a bunch of thinner plastic mop buckets that were cheap from my Dollar Store & easy to make drainage holes on the bottom. They have strong metal handles so that's easier for me to move them around for Sun or shade or out of a downpour rain or hail & can put screen over them to keep pesky squirrels out as their very destructive. In winter I can throw everything in my garage

[@johnsemrau6412]

I've asked and thank you guys 4 telling us about real Alaska Life ❤❤😊😊

[@kimberleyengle1432]

I always plan on winter sowing, but I forget, so I toss those seeds in the freezer for a few days, lol

[@NORMANMORRISON1940]

Don't forget about how many problems I had with rats they ate all my carrots all my beats cherry tomatoes juvenile turnips this year I'm putting half inch hardware cloth over one bed for my beats and carrots

[@livingintheforest3963]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️ Wow, love it there so much can’t wait till I can finally take my first trip there. This is my six year in my cabin. Congratulations to you!!🎉🎉

[@denisescull4227]

I thought the same thing about zucchini when I lived in Colorado. Soooo many zucchini! I've lived in Texas for 30 years and can't get even 1 zucchini to grow. Maybe it's a Colorado thing 😁

[@CrankyAuntyLinda]

No not really 😂 I’ve last lived in Montana with zucchini out my wazoo and when I moved to Loveland Colorado nada zip zilch

[@ak-homegrownroots8185]

This was an excellent video and very informative. Love gardening. It is my Zen!! Thanks for sharing, hugs to all.❤️🙌

[@63Clocks]

Looking forward to seeing your garden as the weather gets warmer. Have a great day!

[@AnneHeyns]

Looking forward to seeing your garden as the weather gets warmer. Have a great day! Rang your bell.

[@talkinnmedia4535]

Great video as always. Thank you for sharing.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Hi Alone. Have a blessed week.

[@debbiemiller7342]

Loved the video Alone. Looking forward to following the journey. Thank you

[@DianneNash-nh5vu]

Excellent video. Alone!😍

[@1968alaskan]

I think, I saw what was eating your carrot tops. It wasn't a grub! Glad to see you are getting to the basics for your garden. Simple things like raspberries, I find are finicky on growth based on elevation. Look forward to see your harvest this fall!

[@brooktrout1477]

Great video as always, gardening is always a learning process good luck with everything this year

[@northerngirlhobbies]

We do a natural liquid fish emulsion here to fertilize the gardens, mind you, we are fortunate to do a lot of fishing and have friends also who are avid fisherpeople. Looking forward to seeing how your garden grows. Fun outtakes. Kenai gave you the funny look

[@echo1020lukka]

New subscriber here. Thank you for sharing the beauty that is Alaska with us.! I'm northern Wisconsin with the same frost dates as you, and also have raised beds, although not the huge amount of rain that you received. I've got to make mini plastic hoop houses over some crops in the beds to get a harvest. Weather patterns have gone a little crazy these last few years....

[@rushingwindmountain]

Thanks for sharing beautiful footage as always. Love your gaden ideas.👍👍

[@therealmysticmoon]

Hi Alone, Have you considered preserving some of your garden by fermenting them? While I'm not a huge leafy greens eater I do grow some Swiss chard, Malabar spinach, arugula, and kale in rail pots on my front porch (easy access) instead of the larger back garden. Just a thought... Happy gardening!

[@judyoliver533]

Great video as always.

[@user-ll1db6ns4k]

I am new to you channel and want to let you know < I like your commonsense. Take care, enjoying our fake summer also in MA.

[@originalsixx]

I grow Zinnia and Nasturtiums every year, they are some of my favorite flowers. I sprung for some zinnia and dahlia seeds from Floret Flower Farms this year. She cross breeds new varieties and i keep hearing how beautiful they are on some of the other KZbin channels I watch so I bought some seeds to give them a try. Floret Farms has a KZbin channel if you're interested in checking it out to see what Im talking about. I plan to save all of the seeds I get this summer. I could mail you some for next year, if you like them. About the fish fertilizer, when I had a fish tank, I would always save the dirty water to add to my flowers. They loved it! You should think about getting a little fish tank and one or two fish! 😂😊 Thanks for the video! 😊

[@OldSchoolAlaska]

Great video as always! It is that time of year.

[@margospica6429]

I live in south east Michigan on the Detroit River.. zucchini grows great around here except for in my yard.. lol I’m blaming it on the cedar tree near my garden area… needles make the soil too acidic… The cedar will be coming down this summer.. it’s getting old and is planted on the corner of the house.. the needles are also destroying the roof shingles… good luck with your garden!❤

[@mommy6671]

So smart

[@Pumpkins_lil_farm]

Be careful that compost tea you plan making could invite unwanted guests and not that tall dark and handsome guy that walked past your window and good luck on your garden this year ❤

[@weedeater6946]

Excellent !! Thank you for sharing your gardening info :)

[@paulawilliams7030]

Lots of good info, thank you

[@patsymartin3634]

Nice pics of Mt Vernon. I got to visit there.

[@Sunshine_AK]

My firefighter husband is happy with your fire blanket and we both laughed at the sasquatch😂

[@lisaogg6337]

Love the music and the gorgeous views!! Sounds like you're more prepared for your garden this year, that's great. Kisses and hugs to sweet Kenai. Thake care and God Bless

[@johnsemrau6412]

So plant some herbs n perennials close to your found 😊 Rosemary Mint n such

[@connielipp8648]

Good Evening Alone and Kenai.. Thank you for another wonderful video chock full of good info. You've stirred up my excitement for you to get your garden going! 'Til next time..

[@julianneavery6995]

your company is looking for those peppers. lol.

[@junewrogg6137]

Gardening in Alaska fascinates me! I watch several Alaska channels that garden, have high tunnels, and can and store food. LOTS of work, but so awesome! We just moved and I'm setting p a new garden that will be 4 times larger than my past gardens. I have started seeds this week, and already have little green sprouts :) SO exciting!!!!! Love this time of year. Wishing you a very happy growing season..

[@starchertk]

There are folks that use their old urine. If you pee in a bucket and let it sit for a week, the nitrogen does glorious things to the soil.

[@carriann3725]

A video so full of great information on gardening 👩‍🌾. I definitely learned a lot. Can’t wait to see your garden and your wildflowers garden. . Weather has been crazy here in Ohio. Many tornadoes in the area last night. 🤗💖🐶

[@carolm.4623]

Fools spring in Wisconsin too. Heck the entire winter here has been weird!

[@billwilliams1842]

I am surprised you do not can green beans. Maybe you freeze them but they should be sort of easy to grow there? Thanks Bill W.

[@judyrosey]

I love canning cabbage. I don't turn it into sauerkraut though. I just chop it, pack it tightly into jars, add salt and water. I use it for soups, fajitas, casseroles and many other things. : )

[@Blackopsmechanic338]

The Old Farmers Almanac is a great resource for this subject, along with many others. Peace

[@AspenWoods217]

Thank you so much for mentioning invasive species. I battled them my whole career on state land in MI. Another great video! I think we are on our 3rd fools spring here...lol

[@PandJsHomesteadAdventure]

Hi Alone! Great garden ideas! We love gardening and we are excited to see your garden grow in Alaska this year. We also can't plant outside till the end of May. Seed starting here soon! Great to see you! See you on the next one.

[@johnboggan4390]

Good video and thank you much. 😅

[@livingintheforest3963]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@joycewedel9084]

I would be interested in watching you do your recipe for Kohlerabi. That vegee is rarely ever been mentioned or seen in recipes or cookbooks so a Video of that would be phenomenal especially because sooo many people have not even been familiar with that word or what it is or what it even looks like and what the heck to do with them or how to make/prepare them & what they go good with. I've never even seen a KZbin video about anyone dehydrating or freezing or canning them. You could probably title the video something catchy that people would click on from curiosity. Like..."The Available Unoticed Mystery Vegetable ". " Why"???? People would wanna know or try guessing they know & vegetarians definitely would wanna know & other KZbin Creators would then give them the idea of doing videos about them & recipes using them. A video like that could very well go viral. People wanna know. Hurry so that nobody steals this idea. I would love you to go super viral & make lotsa $$$$ for all your future projects & your soooo good at explaining things to everyone!

[@alialshamsi4450]

i began the video with thinking oh shes trying a new approach and then at 10:29 i spit out my coffee lmao invasive what lmao

[@dpferguson60]

Love your videos. You give such useful and interesting info.

[@RCPrepping]

Kohlrabi grows great here in Zone 9b central Florida. I call it the vegetable from Mars. Very strange looking. Absolutely delicious.

[@Nannygoat]

I love the idea of compost tea but l am in Texas and have way too many critters that ld have to fight off. I use compost and bone meal . That works. I am diligent though about my compost.....it's almost a part time job

[@robertgraves3215]

Great talk . I have Ron and Johanna's book on how to survive off grid ( Yukon) , just haven't read it yet. Moving soon (May/June) to build in UP Michigan , surrounded by cedars , so, yeah, oh the acid. . There is a computer program now that's like the tech version of Farmer's Almanac. Planting schedules, PH , water, zones . Pest protocols, It's all there . Interesting. Can't conjure the name at the moment, though. I just won a BRUTAL mice war, don't get me started on what that invader was. I suggest trail cams. As If you don't already have like, uh, five already. Maybe Ermines do eat veggies? I do a lot of dehydration . You don't need a fancy machine, just hang it. I'm cutting back a lot on tomatoes, potatoes, (nightshades! ) and red peppers because new med studies say they trash your gut biome , hence inflammation pain, brain fog, etc. Problem is I was raised in NY on Italian food. Yeah we'll have Bigfoot too, as well as wolves and wolverines, No peace in the barnyard... Do folks do ok with 'shrooms up there? Totally my new thing.

[@brooktrout1477]

Where in the UP my camp and property are in sw corner of Marquette county

[@joanntwiss4429]

Another great video.Thank you!

[@irahandwerker8557]

love this vido my favorite topic especially being in a seed busineess for the last 13 yrs love your visions and i did not know that nasturtiums were legumes

[@garyvandenboss9148]

I'm convincing my wife that wasn't me in the window 😂

[@brucemartin2882]

Marigolds..good luck with the garden

[@charlesdarwin180]

I think I saw Bigfoot walking by your window.

[@ck7863]

Do you still get weird noises and footprints around your house and property? Loved your Bigfoot.

[@bethgruenewald7463]

Maybe Squatch can offer suggestions!

[@craiglittle7367]

Damn. Thats your view?

[@akrealestatebroker]

Spinach may bolt in Alaska. New Zealand spinach, not true spinach, you may want to plant. Blessings!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Malabar spinach does well in the smokies here. It’s a vine so can grow up a trellis or on fence. Very prolific and hardy.

[@10ectaco10]

I was beginning to worry since it took so long for Kenai to make an appearance.

[@joycewedel9084]

Did the Daylight Savings affect you or Kenai in any way? I noticed I'm waking up earlier as well as my 3 Fur babies. No more 1st cup of coffee in peace. Hahaha

[@joymiller8707]

Alone, can you grow an herb garden in Alaska?

[@marianfrances4959]

Awesome garden planning!👍😎🇨🇦 Those views...

[@martihetrick609]
