Grant helps McPherson Produce build high tunnels

People interested in learning more about the federal funding can contact the NRCS field office in Hamilton at 363-5010. The deadline for 2014 funding is Feb. 21.

For those gardening in cold places like Montana, February is a month set aside for seed catalogues, big dreams and not much dirt under your fingernails.

That could well change for Jeannie Robbins of McPherson Produce fame this year.

The longtime Bitterroot Valley gardener expects to get a jump on the season thanks to an investment last year in a 70-foot-long high tunnel.

"I do think it’s going to increase my workload a bit," Robbins said. "I’m hoping to put some stuff in there in February just to see what will happen."
