Today after swimming we ran a few errands, and then at home we worked in the side lot where we're going to try to plant a garden. Hopefully it will work. We have seeds for beets, beans, snow peas, green onion, lettuce, and chard. Even though during part of the day the plots will be in the shade, the long days will hopefully help them grow.
Later after dinner I found a free barbecue on craigslist out in Eagle River. We picked it up (although as Neil put it, they should have paid us to hall it away.) The thing was absolutely disgusting. Rusty. Food drippings. And nearly falling apart. Right now we have the grills soaking in the bath tub (it was the only place big enough for them to fit.) But hopefully it will still be okay for a few bbqs. The craig's posting said that yesterday they grilled a chicken on it. But they didn't give us the gas tank, so we'll have to guy one. Hopefully tomorrow we can test it out.

Try cabbage. They grow to be giants in Alaska. It's too cold for beans now. I usually plant in late May or June.
