Veteran WSU Clallam County Master Gardener David Rambin presents ways to keep a good supply of home-grown vegetables available to eat during the winter months at noon Thursday, Oct. 23, in the county commissioners meeting room of the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.

Rambin discusses several methods of harvesting and storing fall crops including canning, storing the items in the ground and keeping the items in a root cellar.

Rambin completed Master Gardener training in 2012. A graduate of Northwestern State University, Rambin has been gardening in the Northwest for the past 30 years and has been canning and storing vegetables and fall crops for 36 years.

The Green Thumb Garden Tips brown bag series is sponsored by the WSU Clallam County Master Gardeners on the second and fourth Thursday of every month in Port Angeles.

Attendees may bring a lunch. The presentations are free and open to the public. However, donations to help offset copying costs for handouts are accepted.
