So, let&#8217;s talk about why we do this, the benefits we see and what our general goals are! This effort is about flexibility. We still have about a month to go to our last frost.

But, it&#8217;s a good day to discuss a bit of preservation philosophy! You&#8217;ll notice here that we&#8217;re roasting a boat load of Shishito peppers.

Dehydration may not be everyone&#8217;s favorite preservation method, but it&#8217;s certainly valuable for a lot of different products! When we first got into dehydration, decades ago, it seemed like the ideal preservation method for almost everything. Shelf stable, few food safety concerns and all you had to do was [&#8230;]]]></description>

We do wish that we could reliably grow gobs of habanero peppers at our latitude, but this often pushes our seasonal limits just a bit too far. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So, let&#8217;s chat about some of our favorite chili peppers. To us, heat is mysteriously missing from the &#8220;spectrum of taste&#8221; and that&#8217;s odd to us, considering it adds an entirely different dimension to food. You won&#8217;t likely find the classic Cayenne pepper on &#8220;northern&#8221; growing lists. Possibly because this is where &#8220;serious heat&#8221; begins. [&#8230;]]]></description>

Well, there&#8217;s quite a few plants that just will not work for. But, there are ways! When it comes to our pepper plants, we can&#8217;t simply top them late in the season.

Specifically, the bulk of our northern pepper harvest, jalapenos! There&#8217;s no doubt the generally warmer growing season we&#8217;re seeing in the Interior of Alaska is benefitting us this year.

We&#8217;d describe this garden as both &#8220;highly engineered&#8221; but also very, very simple. This is a sub irrigated system, sometimes referred to as a self watering garden.

Cowboy Candy is pretty simple, from a canning perspective, so it&#8217;s a great recipe to work with if you&#8217;re just practicing the basics of canning.

					<description><![CDATA[So, we probably don&#8217;t hammer home this point nearly enough! We certainly talk a lot about preservation and methods we use to make our garden last all year. But, we want to make it a point to talk about &#8220;eating fresh&#8221; at least once! (And we do it all the time!) One of my favorite [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, this season seems to be doing everything in its power to prevent us from getting a bumper crop of peppers. Ultra early aphids, countless inches of rain and far too many nights that are getting down into the mid-40&#8217;s. Early this season, we illuminated the topic of F1 varieties and how this often gives [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So, we&#8217;ve mentioned that sometimes we struggle with our pepper trials. But, sometimes we find something that doesn&#8217;t just work, but works incredibly well. A few years ago, you would have never found Cayenne on any subarctic pepper growing recommendation list. We decided to give it a shot in our trials since it was theoretically [&#8230;]]]></description>

We say it quite a bit, but we believe that it&#8217;s important to demonstrate that even experienced gardeners have their issues and that we are all learning. We say it over and over, but gardening can be hard! This one was rooted in [&#8230;]]]></description>

If you&#8217;ve ever tried to grow bell peppers at subarctic latitudes, you&#8217;ve likely been severely disappointed.

					<description><![CDATA[We trialed Habanero peppers many years ago, they simply didn&#8217;t make the cut. Both in the greenhouse and outdoors, we were unable to reliably reach full maturity within our growing season in a way that satisfied us. Usually that means we&#8217;re &#8220;done&#8221; with that variety, no second chances. It&#8217;s just a fact of life of [&#8230;]]]></description>

We practice dehydration several times a year and sometimes it&#8217;s the right choice to get your food to last!

Logic tells us that &#8220;warmer climate plants&#8221; would generally perform better in a climate controlled greenhouse, at least in cold climates. Curiously, we&#8217;ve learned that [&#8230;]]]></description>
