a family get together...






...is what's going on under the grow light...ten trees of the original twelve are still growing...ranging from a bit over four inches to one that's not quite two...one never took off and a small one keeled over this week...i am hopeful but wary...i never claimed to be a good gardener...just a curious one...and not afraid to try and fail in order to learn...the rouge grasses are doing well too...no signs of tillering which puts a damper on the teosinte hopes...i am inclined to think the potting mix wasn't seed-free and the grew because i am lesss than fastidious in procedures at times...doen't really matter here at home...i can be as "content over form" as i like....on campus is anoher story...and we will be back out there soon...even though it is snowing as i write...winter took some time off last week but spring hasn't quite yet spurng...that will change next month as we unmulch and the yams and jerusalem artichokes come back of a second season to keep the root crops and grasses company...can't wait.
