I have been to Lofoten, Norway, to give a lecture on how to grow vegetables in cold climate. I got to meet Trine Edvardsen, who showed me her vegetable garden, just nearby a huge mountain.

Very interesting video Sara. My biggest issue at the moment is wind, which can wreck vegetables, so I’m working out how to put some windbreak up. I think it will make all the difference. Trine has done very well in such a demanding climate!
Hi Sara. I can't see the link you mentioned. Is it still available please?
I wish i could move to this country. Looks so peaceful..btw, i love the vegie garden.
What a brave woman, to try growing in such a hard climate! Bravo!
Horse manure,straw in cold frames( I call it a hot box)…. 32" tall x 30" wide x 96" long with a good solid window or glass door for a top! …..that's what I find help in a cold climate…..
Hej Sara
Simply beautiful to watch
Check for harvest crop vege list of Eliot Coleman with a small tunnel you can grow more food
Can I work there?do you need helper Im from Phillipines
How inspiring! I too live in a cold climate in Maine, USA. I can grow Spinach, some lettuces, beans, some potatoes and have tried carrots, and a few other veggies, but they didn't make it. Probably my fault, I think that I need to water more and protect my plants from the wind and storms that we get here in the mountains. This video has helped me to not stop trying! Thank you!
I was in Lofoten in the summer last year and there was some pretty rough weather even then. Good for Trine! That is not an easy climate to grow in.
