The Coeur d'Alene Coop
One step closer to being ready for next year's growing season! I loaded in a pallet of soil this morning...thankful that it's complete, and for my 3x week workout. 💪Supplies are in, too. That just leaves finalizing the seed purchase (after the fun part of deciding what to offer next year). 🤔Your suggestions are welcome! 🍅#thecoeurdalenecoop#2027gardenseason#groworganic#allinadayswork#organicgardening ...
