CORN! There be CORN!
So, it was a very successful year at the PRGC. We finally got our rain... and lot of it. More folks showing up doing a lot of fine work. And more folks excited about the good food and things to do next season already. So many tomatoes! The potatoes did really well this year too. Tomatillos surprised us all with a bumper crop. And my personal little experiment was the popcorn... The glass gem corn. And it worked. We achieved corn and are now in the drying phase to see if we achieve POPCORN. Need to start a little sooner next season but I think everyone will be very happy with the colorful results. Thanks to all the new folks that joined us and all those still around having fun with us in the dirt. Getting cold fast and the garden is stripped down now but won't be long until the start of season FIVE! Get your gloves ready. The seeds for the glass gem corn came from the Native Seeds/SEARCH organization. http://www.nativeseeds.org/
Lovely! I had so much fun this year even though I couldn't get out as often as I may have liked. So fun meeting everyone and reaping the bounty of the garden. Can't wait 'til next year. Of course, still trying to get over my fear of worms but its getting better :)
