Prosser Update/ by Jackie Cross, TDR Co Owner and Farmer in Chief
Thank you so much for all you fabulous volunteers that made the trek to Prosser last week.
We planted the whole friggin’ farm in 2 days- it was amazing (not to mention a bit of a thigh burn!) We had four full cold frames and a loaded greenhouse that were almost empty by the time we left. Tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, beans, basil, broccoli raab, corn, melons, pumpkins…etc etc etc… are now in the ground and holding their own. Weather looks favorable (finally) for the next week or so at least and irrigation is back on in full force. More trays were seeded in the greenhouse, herb beds planted, and a massive amount of weeding was accomplished.
We had two delicious dinners- grilled tenderloin and asparagus by Tommy D, and halibut tacos and margaritas by Pam H, with a lot of help from ET and everyone else. A suspiciously large amount of Tecate cans seemed to fill the recycling bins…. Hmmmm. Here was also a bacon fried rice competition between Katie O and ET- personally, I think it was a tie, but the trash talk was flying.
Thanks again to our volunteers!!
