Investing in a Winter Garden is Profitable

Enumclaw residents are fortunate to have some---to a lot---of land around their homes on which to grow a modern day "victory garden" for delicious, healthy eating especially in these tough economic times. Victory gardens have also proven to be very effective on porches and roof tops! Watch the video below and see how to continue saving money throughout the year on home grown food, and feeling good about it.

The White House staff have been busy all year with the development, planting, and harvesting of the White House Garden (our "resource links" has the garden's opening video). The first three plantings of the kitchen garden were bountiful---harvesting more than 1007 lbs. of produce!

The Winter Garden soil has been prepared, and with the help of high tunnels or hoop houses spinach, lettuce, carrots, mustard greens, chard and cabbage will be planted now. Here is the latest video showing the White House Garden's hoop houses and discussing the USDA's new hoop house project for small farms.
