Prosser Farm Update/ by Jackie Cross, TDR Owner and Farmer-in-Chief
Here’s what’s happening this week in farm land:
Hurray for this week’s volunteers- Dev Patel and Annie Koski-Karell (Serious Pie) and Joe Lyons (Seatown)!!!
This week we will be spreading many, many, many stinky pounds (2,000 to be exact) of pelleted chicken manure on the recently furrowed rows and then raking them down to prepare for planting.
Planting arugula, parsnips and beets, pulling the mulch off the strawberries, planting a new herb raised bed, thinning tomato, eggplant, and pepper starts, and doing some spring cleaning of the sheds to get ready for this summer.
All the compost has been spread and all quads have been furrowed. New rabbit fencing going up next week. The greenhouse is working beautifully and all our seedlings are growing to beat the band! The roof and windows are on the barn, and this week we should be getting our electrical permit after which drywall will start going up. Lettuce, spinach, and radishes are in the ground.
