DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book is written for people who live in the area called "The Inland Northwest" which is very different from that OTHER Northwest on the westside of the Cascade Mountains. Our Inland Northwest spreads across eastern Washington and Oregon, northern Idaho and western Montana. It has very coldwinters, dry sunny summers and lots of other quirks that make gardening here a "never a dull moment" kind of challenge. Gardening In The Inland Northwest is a simple, straightforward book about which varieties of vegetables, berries, and fruit trees like it here, when to plant them, how to tend them, and what to do about bugs and other problems that pester them. If you are new to the area or just wanting, once and for all, local varieties, planting dates and growing tips for the uniques area, this is the book for you !
