Where I was stationed it was 340 miles north of Anchorage so night was a little longer and days in the summer.

Oh man! You lucky DOG!!! We're having an early Spring too but can only DREAM of 79 cent a pound Asparagus, anytime of year!!! (about $4 to $5 a can or a pound, either way!)
I had to share this. It highlights the issue of logistics from here to there (and how BIG Alaska is, no offense to our friends in Texas
).You know it buddy! Last year's State Fair Champion cabbage was 143 POUNDS! They're using fork lifts to move the around now! The Zucchinis & Cucumbers are coming in around 20 plus pounds as are the Turnips & Carrots. As always, Summer Solstice is an amazing time. Just "dusky" for a few hours, like you said. The trade off is going to and coming from work in the dark for three months. Daylight Savings Time doesn't make much sense "up here" but we've still got it, don't know why??? Alaska also used to be split up into FIVE time zones (for obvious reasons) but that went away several years ago. We are now using the Alaska Standard Time Zone throughout the state. Another thing that doesn't make much sense (for the same obvious reasons).
From 2009. The whitish orb with the purple ribbon is a BUTTON MUSHROOM! The Cabbage wasn't the largest, it just had the best symmetry of the large Cabbages. The rest speak for themselves.
OK, gotta go out and do some yard work of our own so we can do some growin' of our own. I'll check back later .

Add a 3 to 4 hr. flight from Anchorage to Seattle and you get the picture.
