Nothing beats the flavor of fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes and when they're left on the plant five to eight days after the fruit are fully colored, the flavor only gets better. Check plants regularly and keep harvesting, so the plants continue to produce throughout the fall. This also reduces problems with insects and disease attacking overripe or rotting fruit. Store the mature red tomatoes in cool, 45- to 50-degree, conditions with high humidity and they'll last about 7 to...

By SHANNEN TALBOT Staff Reporter A newspaper-covered card table in Crystal Chutes’ living room is heaped with piles of small, clean rocks — most still varying shades of gray and brown, but with some popping out in bright colors with positive messages inscribed on the sides. Chutes, a mom of three boys in Airway Heights, has kick-started her own neighborhood project using what she calls “encouragement rocks.” The rocks are painted with words of reassurance, and Chutes hopes c...

One hundred twenty-five years ago in 1894, farmers received poisons and chemicals for free from the county government to rid the fields of ground squirrels, or gophers.

You have waited all season for that first red ripe tomato only to discover less-than-perfect fruit.

The 18th annual Blue Waters, Bluegrass Festival was another hit this year, although not as well-attended as previous years, something organizers blamed on a wet weather forecast that never materialized - at least in Medical Lake's Waterfront Park. "We literally had no rain," festival president Nick Burgis said. "There was one instance when I had to cover some equipment for a minute." Rain in Spokane was at times a deluge, but despite being surrounded by heavy clouds, the...
