Comments on: Looking ahead (to Idaho?) http://www.garden-of-eatin.com/2008/10/03/looking-ahead/ Backyard organic vegetable gardening in the Willamette Valley Mon, 12 Jul 2010 18:51:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Amy http://www.garden-of-eatin.com/2008/10/03/looking-ahead/comment-page-1/#comment-549 Amy Tue, 14 Oct 2008 18:33:07 +0000 http://www.garden-of-eatin.com/?p=437#comment-549 When I originally wrote this, it was planned we were going to Idaho Falls. It's a really long convoluted and confusing story as to why, but we're going to be in Salmon, at least to start. Short story is, my in laws are there and it gives us an "in" back into Idaho. I actually hope to move permanently to Canada in the next year or 2, so I gotta suck it up about the cold. I really just dislike Idaho!

I'm in western Montana, and here in the great wide-open spaces of the far west where people drive sixty miles for a beer or a hamburger (or did before gas prices went through the roof and the economy tanked), what's a state line? Of course, you will be on the other side of the Divide, but that just makes things warmer for you. Where exactly will you be? BTW--my favorite gardening store has seeds for a northern watermelon, developed in Idaho. So all is not lost. But it's hard to move when you don't want to go. --Kate We’ll be neighbors!
