摘要

Garden writer for the Anchorage Daily News in Anchorage, Alaska, and a past president of the Garden Writers Association of America. No righting measly snails and slugs in Alaska gardens. Lowenfels regularly finds himself face-to-face with a 7-foot tall, 1,800-pound moose munching carrots in his vegetable garden. Of course, everything is big in Alaska, no matter what Texans might say. "If Alaska were split in half to become two states, Texas would still only be the third largest state in the country," Lowenfels says, with only a slight smirk on his face. In Anchorage--Alaska's biggest city encompassing more than half the state's half-million population--virtually everyone gardens, and gardens big, according to Lowenfels. Despite a growing season that averages only 105 days, Alaskans have a weather condition that is almost unequaled. Specifically, Alaskan home gardeners encounter no darkness during their growing season between June and August. With all that sunlight, everything tends to grow fasterand bigger than what home gardeners in the lower 48 states are accustomed to. Would you believe 80-pound cabbages? And zucchini that are the size of baseball bats? How about having to mow your lawn three times a week? That's what Lowenfels has to do during the summer. Those baseball bat-sized zucchini also are "as tender as any six-inch zucchini you'd ever want to eat," he says.
