With the high price and low quality of vegetables in Skagway, the residents of our RV Park have created a greenhouse. They taped rolls of plastic over a wooden frame on the side of the clubhouse.



















Most of our group have staked out a small space in the greenhouse and started a garden. Unfortunately the ground is so rocky that it can’t be cultivated. So we have a home-made dirt filter make from scrap wood and chicken wire.



















Every shovelful needs to be dumped on top of the filter and massaged through the wire. To avoid carrying all the rocks outside, we use some to create borders around our little garden plots. It’s a real pain – in the back, in the shoulders, and in the neck. But the results look promising!
