A bunch of members from our gardening club attended today's class on "Winter Gardening: Growing through the snow," at the Priest River Event Center in Priest River, Idaho (5399 US Highway 2, Priest River). The hour-and-a-half presentation was very thorough on how to build a "high tunnel" or hoop house (full construction details were provided), planning and planting the veggies, and tips on how to use the structure in minus temperatures during our challenging winter. Good class.
The next class offered at the Event Center is on 31 July 2016, from 2-4:30 p.m., on the topic of "Food Preservation and Canning," with hands-on instruction, recipes, and demonstrations on how to slash your food budget, how to plan ahead for harvesting, buying tasty, healthy food, and more. The class is free, and more details are available at 509-631-2291, or online at TheReadyLife.com.
If you are going to the trouble of raising delicious, safe food, or if you are spending good money on the same, you really want to know how to preserve that food. Jus' sayin'.
