The Zeiger Family Homestead - Gardening

http://akzeigers.com/haines/garden.html

Gardening on the Homestead. Since we live a largely subsistence lifestyle, gardening is an essential activity. We are challenged by limited sunlight, thin topsoil, encroaching tree roots, and herbivorous pests from voles to moose. Led by Michelle, we overcome all of these to produce a lot of good food each year from our main garden, greenhouse, and cold frames. The former owners' rhubarb patch has continued to grow and thrive. Pie plant—it's not just for breakfast anymore! The garden in August 2015.

I’d heard the reports of severe flooding on the news, but the extent of the weather crisis down south didn’t fully hit home until a friend told us that parts of Louisiana had received two. Of rain in two days! As Michelle pointed out, that’s an inch of rain an hour inconceivable, even for those of us who live in a temperate rainforest! August 17, 2016.

The Zeiger Family Homestead - Through the Seasons

http://akzeigers.com/haines/seasons.html

Homesteading Through the Seasons. Originally, this site started as an historical narrative, with periodic updates on our visits to the cabin. Before moving here from Juneau. After we'd been here a few years, we began blogging. About our activities. We decided that seasonal collages would be a better way to give you an idea of our surroundings as the seasons progress. Is the first day of winter. When the days begin to lengthen, or would that be more appropriately midwinter's evening? February 1 - April 30.

Animals at the Zeiger Family Homestead

http://akzeigers.com/haines/hainesanimals.html

Wildlife Seen On and Around. The Zeiger Family Homestead. We see a lot of wildlife on and around the homestead. It's very difficult to photograph the animals we see! Further, an animal in the water usually just shows up as a dark spot in a photograph. We're developing our photography skills and strategies, and hope to add quality photos to this page as we can. We see a lot of humpback whales off our beach. It seems to be a favorite feeding area. In May 2008 we got lucky! And the whale's tail as it dives ...
