From these trials, Gannon and other researchers have determined which vegetables are best suited for Alaska's often-challenging growing conditions. Learn the planting times and methods used during the trials for the best yield results. Each variety tested is commercially available and easily obtained.
The free workshop is scheduled Monday, April 14, from 6-8 p.m. at the Delta Career Advancement Center classroom, 1696 N. Clearwater Ave.
