http://lastfrontiergarden.blogspot.com/2015/05/rip-pinwheels-wherein-i-slightly.html
An Alaskan gardener's perspective. Sunday, May 24, 2015. RIP Pinwheels: wherein I slightly destroy garden art. Some years ago, in my zeal to defend my. Against those dastardly, ever-hungry moose, I concocted a trio of giant pinwheels. Yes, you read that correctly. Pinwheels. I am pausing a moment to savor these feelings of humility, shame, and perhaps a touch of defiance. There. I am done.). I designed and welded those things to last through a hurricane. (See here. Too unreliable), 3. Plantskydd. Now I c...

LAST FRONTIER GARDEN: February 2014
http://lastfrontiergarden.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
An Alaskan gardener's perspective. Monday, February 17, 2014. Oh say, can you sing that a different way? Volunteering in school has its rewards, chief of which are hearing a room full of 7-year olds, with their hands over their hearts, sing to José in the morning. “José, can you see, by the dawnzerly light? Also, you may not know this, fellow Americans, but we do. Sing the *Star-Spangled Banner. It is the “Star. This is one change that Francis Scott Key could endorse.). To the song really does help.

LAST FRONTIER GARDEN: November 2013
http://lastfrontiergarden.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
An Alaskan gardener's perspective. Wednesday, November 20, 2013. I won the lottery. You’re thinking I’m being symbolic, right? Stay tuned. Meanwhile, a few important points of the past November in Alaska. I don’t say this is the worst November ever, because I’m an optimist. It could always be worse. But I think everything has suffered in comparison since my October jaunt to Florida. Get into car accident on freeway. Airbags are deployed, thankfully not tempers. At least the kids are ok. 8221; at the movi...

LAST FRONTIER GARDEN: Welding 101
http://lastfrontiergarden.blogspot.com/2009/10/welding-101.html
An Alaskan gardener's perspective. Thursday, October 15, 2009. Or more appropriately, welding for dummies. There is something magical about taking raw materials like sheetmetal, rebar, and bolts (. And turning them into garden art. Luckily, I know a fearless metal artist. I say fearless because, would you let me weld in your garage, when I have had no prior experience? And here is the other:. A couple of people stopped by the garage and checked things out. There was some amused skepticism about how t...

LAST FRONTIER GARDEN: Power tools and pinwheels
http://lastfrontiergarden.blogspot.com/2009/10/power-tools-and-pinwheels.html
An Alaskan gardener's perspective. Monday, October 19, 2009. Power tools and pinwheels. OK, so this is post number two about the moose pinwheels. I needed to turn a flat sheet of galvanized metal into a pinwheel that attaches to rebar by a welded-on bolt. Follow that? Luckily, I had printed out a how-to-make-a-pinwheel. Instruction sheet from wikihow, so that was a big help. How did I cut the metal? Electric cutting shears (. I used a grinding attachment to make patterns on the sheetmetal. Of moose with ...

LAST FRONTIER GARDEN: September 2013
http://lastfrontiergarden.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
An Alaskan gardener's perspective. Monday, September 23, 2013. There are stranger things than this. It’s that time again, gardeners and Alaskans. That time of year when I take a gander at the search keywords that lead poor souls to this blog. That time of year when I get to be Sherlock Holmes and ponder the limited evidence and make a deduction (sans dark trench coat, Y chromosome, and hobbling doctor assistant: take that Mr. Cumberbatch. This will be fun. 1 “ golf trinkets and trash. All of the above.

LAST FRONTIER GARDEN: March 2015
http://lastfrontiergarden.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
An Alaskan gardener's perspective. Thursday, March 26, 2015. Oops, I did it again. 8221; To which I (being the classy dame that I am) shouted back, “I don’t care. I need to be outside! Meanwhile, we shall see who has the last laugh. The low temperatures are mostly above freezing in the forecast, and no snow in sight. I have no doubts the naysayers will continue to pester me though, I’m not that innocent. Are you rushing things in the garden? Links to this post. Monday, March 9, 2015. 160; Can it be true?

LAST FRONTIER GARDEN: Springtime in Alaska…or not
http://lastfrontiergarden.blogspot.com/2013/04/springtime-in-alaskaor-not.html
An Alaskan gardener's perspective. Monday, April 22, 2013. Springtime in Alaska…or not. I try not to ponder the great mysteries of life too often. For example, what if the traffic light is green but no cars are moving? Is the traffic light. More importantly, will those two containers of ice cream in the trunk melt by the time it truly is? Such musings only lead to despair, disappointment, or in extreme cases, the need to get the car professionally cleaned. Springtime in Alaska when. I’ve written ab...
