We have a plant that looks like goldenrod but blooms the same time as the fireweed in July so they aren't on it.
My bees are bringing in bright orange pollen now, I believe its from Icelandic poppies that grow on the road here.

Its cooked. I find the baby ones have the consistency of butter. The older ones can be about like eating gummy bears, and have a stronger flavor. Depends on how long they are cooked too.

Getting done with the garden.

Digging my small patch of spuds before the voles get them all.





Strawberries did good this year, produced more than the kids picked.

BOCO No the old ones are better. Not sure why the babies are rubbery maybe thinner muktuk. Watch my beluga video from last year that calf was really rubbery. It got eaten though.

Really cool berry pictures YukonJeff listening to you postABOUT BEES I WANT SOME NOW JUST TO WATCH THEM AND POLLENTATE BERRIES. I DOUBT THEY WOULD MAKE MUCH HONEY OR SURVIVE THE WINTER THIS FAR NORTH BUT THE BERRIES WOULD FOR SURE BE WORTH IT. WE HAVE 11 BEARS AT THE DUMP SO THEY MAY BE A PROBLEM TO.

Muskrat, bee keeping is pretty addicting just like trapping. And fun to watch. I waste way too much time just sitting, looking at the river and watching my bees. Expensive hobby too. You might be a little too far north but I would try.
I follow a Canadian bee keeper on YouTupe called, a Canadian Beekers Blog. Check him out makes tons of honey and has a good blog.


Thanks Les, I would starve it was up to my garden to feed me. But do get some fresh vegies. Turnips do good here and collard greens, peas and I get baby carrots. lol


Geese I got tonight are getting fat. Need a few more yet.



Be time to get a moose soon.

Jeff this is a great site, I am lucky to work closely near the university and belong to this bee club.

Finished extracting honey from this summer.



And I have to brag about my carrots. Surprised as it was such a cool summer but they grew well.

Thanks Jim
I noticed the Canadian beekeepers have it together pretty good in the education department. I also Follow Canadian Devon Rawn he had a good vlog with great info, but seams to have quit posting.

Nice... Chickenminer. Good haul, Looks like good stuff too ! I only get baby carrots here, but have a few in the ground still going so might get a few bigger ones yet, not as big as yours I am sure.

Well I hated the idea of buying honey this winter and grabbed two frames I had my eye on.. You can see where the queen laid right up through them.







My take.


I put the wet frames back on and fed them the same day.

Oh, and one for A.V.you can see my baby carrots and turnips



My turnips do pretty good here, for such cool, wet, windy summers we have. They also keep pretty good in the fridge all winter, and are awesome in moose soup.

Nice to see how folks adapt and flourish in harsher growing areas, Jeff have you thought of building a small greenhouse and or using raised bed for your gardening?
You can see the different colored honey between yours and Chickenminer's. I sure they would have distinct flavors.

Alas, no moose hunt for me this year, my gang did not draw a tag in the lottery system here.

I would love a green house someday, I do have raised beds I made out of logs, hard to see with all the grass growing around it. My soil is acidic from under the tundra, I have been adding compost every year and its getting better. Its burns any small vegi starts I plant in the spring in it now, need to lime it more too I guess.

The voles are wondering where all their spuds went.



My asparagus is doing good, harvest some next year maybe.



Sweet corn and broccoli , not so much. lol



We had a cold late spring here, one of the latest I remember, had no pollen coming in until mid may.

And it was alder smoked, BBQ'd King salmon on the grill tonight. Food Don't get much better than that.
