To get a copy of my book, "How To Grow Vegetables In Sitka, Alaska" just give me a call....The books are $20 plus tax. If you live out of town and want me to mail you a copy, you can mail a check for $25.60 to:

Pacific High

Pacific High is the Alternative High School here in Sitka. Today, some of the members of their cooking class came out to the garden to pick vegetables for their kitchen. Now, as you know, the U-Pick Garden is actually closed for the year, but the garden keeps pumping out produce, and I am happy to support schools that want to use local produce, so I said, "Come on over!"

Here's Mandy and the boys....

We picked Kale, Cabbage, Parsley, Rhubarb, Leeks, Broccoli, Celery, Tomatoes, Lemon Sorrel, Cucumbers, Radishes, Cauliflower, Carrots, Swiss Chard, and Sunflower Seed Heads....
