Spring seed starting in Alaska — let it snow outside, let it grow inside.

Think spring on the March 2022 episode of Growing a Greener Kenai with Larry Opperman of the Central Peninsula Garden Club.

Yes, there's still snow on the ground, but there's plenty gardeners can do now to set themselves up for success. Master gardeners Larry Opperman and guest Sharon Gherman, of the Central Peninsula Garden Club, talk about spring prep — seed ordering/starting, soil prep, garden planning and much more.

Larry started gardening in first grade when he took a bag of navy beans from the kitchen and threw them all over his backyard. They grew and his dad mowed around all the plants and he got a great bean harvest that year. From then on, he was hooked. Larry has gardened for over 60 years and the last 30 years in Alaska. He is on the Central Peninsula Garden Club board of directors and also the board of the Kenai Soil & Water Conservation District. His goal for Growing a Greener Kenai is to disseminate the most accurate information possible in order to help Kenai Peninsula gardeners achieve the best results for their gardening endeavors and efforts.
