We chat with artist, filmmaker, and gardener Arlin McFarlane in Whitehorse, Yukon about gardening in cold climates.
McFarlane produced the gardening show The Curious Gardener, about Yukon farmers and gardeners.
We talk about:
- Gardening when there are only about 75 frost-free days in the growing season
- Gardening on poorly developed soils
- How to grow tomatoes in the far north (spoiler alert: Arlin grows tomatoes!)
- The importance of microclimates
- The show The Curious Gardener
