Hydrate those hibernating plants – just not too much | The Compleat Home Gardener

Last year in January, Plateau Outreach Ministries opened its new food bank, and Buckley’s Rainier Fresh Country Store opened its store, filled with local greens, produce, dairy, and more. And if you’re really itching for something to do, look forward to the Enumclaw Expo Center’s Wine and Chocolate Festival on Feb. 7 and 8, which features up to a dozen local wineries and local chocolatiers, plus other beer, food, and craft vendors.

After participating in a holiday tournament in Lynden the team will take a break, then resume league play when they host Enumclaw High on Jan. 8.
