Heading into summer, the PRGC is proving to be a successful co-op, and a successful garden. Tomatoes are going gang-busters in the greenhouse and surviving the late spring winds outside, thanks to a revised strategy and dozens of buckets. (See photo at right.) Luther calculates that if the tomatoes fail to live up to their potential 40-pound-per-plant yeild, we'll still harvest around 1,500 pounds. If your mouth doesn't water at the thought of freshly-picked vine-ripe tomatoes in July, check your pulse. The potato plants have also poked through the soil, their hearty leaves making promises for late summer and fall. Over the weekend, the upper bed was filled with corn and bush beans; seedlings should debut soon.
