Welcome to the 2014 season of the PRGC! (Season FIVE!)

Surprise! We are up and running for the 2014 season! Greens in the greenhouse are coming up and are being begged to be made into tonight's salad. A good group of folks has stuck around for another year and work parties are getting things moving forward steadily.

Moisture has been low already and there is delay with tomatoes due to a watering issue. However, they seem to be recovering. We will try doing corn in three stages this year to get a prolonged harvest. We will also do the Bring Your Own Peppers to Garden Day again this year where garden members bring several pepper plants each to get the peppers into the ground.

So, our long time garden members Evan and Jennifer Stubbs have moved up north. They will be missed this year for sure. Turns out, though, that they entered some of the produce from the PRGC in the Lincoln County Fair last year. So we can now say we have award winning food, right?  Right! The ribbons are seen in the picture and are on display in the green house.

Other PRGC sitings :)

PRGC Glass Gem Corn International Star

The little Glass Gem Corn from last year is also pictured on an Italian food site called Sale&Pepe (Salt and Pepper).  The article is an explanation of the rediscovery of this particular corn type.

Thanks again for a great start!
