As I'm writing, the first boxes of radishes, tat soi, spinach, and strawberries are coming in from our farm in Prosser -- the season is upon us! My wife Jackie and her farm team have been planting like crazy, including 2500 tomato plants, 200 squash and melon plants, sweet silver queen white corn and much, much more. This is our fourth growing season in Prosser, and we have gone from a half acre to more than six acres under cultivation. This was also the first year for our greenhouse, so many of the starts were started by US!
Saturday (June 11th) is the first of this year's "Salmon-Chanted Evenings" at Victor Steinbrueck Park in the Pike Place Market. (This event is near and dear to me, so bear with me as I pitch for your support.) Many of us are saddened by the drastic budget cuts faced by every department in the city. On top of this we have a city council and a mayor’s office that don’t get along with each other. Salmon Suppers are a way for us to come together and do right by this great city of ours. This is a time to sit with our neighbors, break bread, talk politics or sing a song--whatever you please. These nights are intended to celebrate what is great about our town and raise money to fund civility at this gorgeous park.
