Snow covered crop tunnels over the raised beds

February 3, 2014 By Candace Godwin Leave a Comment

After a very dry December and January, it looks as though winter has finally arrived in Coeur d’Alene. A lovely blanket of snow has finally covered the garden and will help to insulate the ground against the bitter-cold temps that are predicted for the next week. For me, there is nothing so satisfying as paging through seed catalogs while the…

Happy New Year from the Coeur d’Alene Coop & Second Street Chicken Ranch! 2013 was a good year for the Second Street Chicken Ranch.  We grew and sold hundreds of heirloom tomato plans at the Kootenai County Farmer’s Market (and we’ll be doing it again in 2014); we enjoyed a wonderfully long and hot gardening season, which was perfect for…

The Summer Garden The gardens at the 2nd Street Chicken Ranch are in full bloom and happily abuzz.  The perennial garden is blazing with the fiery golds, purples and whites of the echinacea, rudbeckia, yarrow, and gooseneck loosestrife. It’s been three years since I first planted the “invasive” gooseneck loosestrife, and no surprise, the “flock” is growing bigger and stronger…

The Coeur d'Alene Coop
It's turning out to be a fantastic tomato season! The cherry types are coming on, and here are a few beauties. The first two images are the Italian Piennolo del Vesuvio, the famous storage tomatoes of Napoli. I love their pointed tips. These are traditionally hung indoors to extend the season. Next is Cherry Ember. Plants are heavy with these bracts of fruit. Striking red with orange stripes. Another huge producer is Baby Roma. Clusters of red, pear-shaped fruit hang on large indeterminate plants. A customer favorite, Sweetie sports a cluster of 12 fruit... this is one of many. Next is Raspberry Burst, a new favorite. Dwarf plants are about 24 inches tall and packed with deep red to purple cherry-type orbs. Finally, after all the trials and tribulations (if you follow my newsletter, you know), tiny Elf Tears! I shed my own when I saw these! LOL! True happiness!#thecoeurdalenecoop #heirloomtomatoes #organiccherrytomatoes #homegrowntomatoes #tomatolove ... See MoreSee Less
