Summer kickstart

Now's the time for soil prep and greenhouse experimentation

Yes, it's still early spring but not too early to get a jump on summer! Start with soil prep and utilizing greenhouses, high tunnels or other aids to give slow-growing, direct-sow plants a head start.

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.
