biyuwolf, are you an herb maniac, too? You seem to be in the herb section a lot. |

Try a search for your hardiness zone. There are lots of good maps in the zones section at the bottom of this forum. From what I've heard, your growing season is short, but bountiful. |

I think you can grow a pretty wide variety of plants in your zone. If I understand correctly, you can grow pretty much any herbs and several tropical trees. If you want to play it safe or are limited in space, try growing them in containers. |

If you look at a zone map(I posted one in the zones section), you'll see Alaska has zones 1-7b. This person lives on the southern panhandle, which seems to be the best area for growing plants. Amazingly enough, plants grow all over Alaska. I've heard that the growing season is short, but intense. |
