Hoop House

Our hoop was amazing! We had an intense learning curve but the rewards were great. We ate yummy things like green beans, tomatoes, peppers and artichokes, none of which grow in Alaska unless they are inside. The kids were amazing helpers, from planting to harvest, I wouldn't have been able to do it with out their help. This is how it looked in June.


Here was the begining of July.




Here we are at the end of August. The sweet corn and sunflowers hit the top, at 11 feet. The dill and tomatoes folded in half at the top of the 5 foot stakes and califlower was as big around as a five gallon bucket. The pumpkins took over and we had to beat paths through the plants so we could walk. Every row had flowers growing and we had bouquets to share all summer.
