Mavis Mail – Kelly From Wasilla, Alaska Sends in Her Garden Photos

A big THANK YOU to everyone who has sent in their photographs and stories. I hope by sharing other people’s pictures and stories here on One Hundred Dollars a Month we can all have a rock star garden this summer. Keep them coming!
Hi Mavis!
Greetings from Wasilla, Alaska!

I have been gardening for several years and this year because of the warmer spring weather up here in south central Alaska my garden is flourishing early! I have four raised beds this year. Two raised beds are attached with a trellis for peas and cucumbers.

We also have a potato tower going.

The screen cages on top of the raised beds are to prevent (try to prevent) the moose from eating our garden since we do not have a fenced in yard.

We also have a greenhouse that I am in love with! It was finished by my dad and husband last spring!

I grow tomatoes, peppers, lemon cucumbers and herbs in the greenhouse.

I love reading your blog and emails! I have found so many great articles, recipes, tips, deals, etc. thanks to you!!! Thank you! I also enjoy reading your gardening ebooks!

Warm Regards,
Kelly

• Cool Arts & Crafts – Made from your very own hands with detailed {and well photographed} pictures and instructions.
• Your pictures and stories about your pets. The more pictures and details the better.
• Garage Sale, Thrift Store and Dumpster Diving pictures and the stories behind the treasures you found including how much you paid for them.
