On the 11th of March, the Inland Northwest Food Network will host a seed swap at the Coeur d'Alene library (702 E. Front St., CDA) from 1-3 p.m. The focus in on heirloom, open-pollinated plants, so home-grown and purchased seeds will be available for swap – local seed-saving experts will be on hand to explain how to save your seeds from the 2017 garden, and there is a suggested $5 donation – "suggested" is the operative word.
Our first club meeting for 2017 is scheduled for the 14th of March, at 7 p.m. in the Camden Grange. We will all commiserate over the long, still-ongoing winter, and watch a slide show on garden season extension techniques – start early, grow strong, and hang on!
On the 19th of March, the Sustainable Preparedness Expo will be held at Priest River Junior High School from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and will offer classes on off-grid power supplies, winter gardening in North Idaho, long-term fuel storage, and much more. Entry and parking are free, door prizes will be offered, and vendors of appropriate stuff will be numerous. Pat and I have attended a couple of these expos and they are usually both fun and informative – plus they are free, so bring some friends.
