  • Herbs and Medicinal Uses

    Mike Heath Laramie County Master Gardners|Nov 7, 2019

    I've pretty much shut down the greenhouse for the year now that we've had a couple of really cold periods of weather. During the day it would heat up just perfect and at night it still stays about 25 degrees warmer than the outdoor temperature. But when its 4 below zero outside and 24 inside, it's still too cold for tomatoes and peppers. Right now all that is left is the herbs. They can take some colder temperatures for short period and do just fine. So the rosemary and chamomile are still...

    Reagan Pachel Post Student Reporter|Nov 7, 2019

    An article was published in the newspaper a couple weeks ago concerning a Town Facebook page. They haven’t come to a conclusion on the discussion yet. There are a lot of reasons why the issue hasn’t been determined yet, but the main reason is because there is already a Pine Bluffs Recreation Facebook page set up.
