The Coeur d'Alene Coop
While it's cold and quiet outside, the growing garage is already starting to take shape. It's a tight fit at the moment (the SUV still lives there...for now), but it's starting to green up:Onions, leeks, shallots, and chives, thyme and mint, pansies, and my favorite today, baby snapdragons from seed I saved last fall. A strong start so your garden can hit the ground running in May. And, it's my ray of hope on a winter's day.#thecoeurdalenecoop#seedstarting2026#heirloomveggies#gardencats ... See MoreSee Less
