How do plants survive in alaska(including vegetables and wheat just to be clear)

This can be a frustrating time for the vegetable gardener who lives in Alaska. Our season is just too darn short. To compensate, folks start looking around for something, anything, that they can grow and eat. (Never mind that some of these are the very same people who never once harvest from their outdoor gardens).

Of course, there are a lot of things that can be grown indoors, just ask any Southcentral gardener who sprouted what was left over from last season's seeds. Broccoli, kale, and pea sprouts are fun, but why not start with a couple of seeds that seem designed for sprouting, something that is fail proof so that you won't be discouraged to try other things. After all, it's just the start of the indoor season and we need something easy and quick lest we lose interest
