Growing Potatoes is easier than you think and the results are delicious! So where do you start? Your first step is to have an idea what veggies you want in your garden then map out where each should grow. One of the keys to success is making sure that everything has enough room to flourish.

Here at the Snohomish Co-op we love gardening! Everytime February rolls around we get in our gardening mode here and start the prep for the upcoming season. Gardening is not only a fun activity, but it’s educational and healthy. It contributes to a healthier ecosystem and benefits practically everything.

If you are like us, and want to have the best garden success you can this year, treating with dormant spray is vitally important.

Heating your home with wood is still a very common practice. Whether you have a wood burning stove, a fireplace insert, a wood pellet stove or a traditional fire place, Snohomish and Monroe Co-op stores have everything you need to stay warm and cozy this season.
