While the growing season takes a hiatus, the bugs, pests and diseases go dormant. They wait out the winter months to be revived with the springtime sun and feed off of your new garden. If you are like us, and want to have the best garden success you can this year, treating with dormant spray is vitally important.

To get the most out of the growing season, you must be planned, prepped, and ready to execute your gardening plans by the time the season arrives. Berries are a plant growing in popularity and a great use of space. Some of these plants like the cane berries (raspberries, blackberries) can be planted as early as February in the Snohomish area and blueberries as early as March!

When the winter arrives we usually assume that the animals will be leaving, but in reality most of those outdoor friends are still around and in need of food and water. Birds and deer are common animals that you can continue to feed through the winter!

When dealing with snow and ice, as pretty as it is, there are some concerns. When driving on the roads we trust the road maintenance crews to be clearing the roads and applying sand and ice to make our commutes possible. The same principles can be applied to our own driveways and walkways to help us deal with the weather in a safe and affordable way.

Servus boots provide the waterproofing, comfort and durability you need in a rainboot at a very reasonable price. These boots are made in the USA and offer full size runs for kids and adults. Don’t get caught in the rain and mud without a solid pair of rainboots this season!

One of the best ways we can take care of our animals is by being prepared. When the seasons change, the struggles that we deal with also change and as winter comes around this year the Coop wants to help you stay prepared for the cold freezes which are inevitably coming!
