the teosinte, maize, chinese yams, asparagus, and wheat grass will be sharing the garden with a relatively new species of plant starting tomorrow...the hybrid strains of crossed wheat grass and wheat, representing an effort to create a viable perennial grain, have arrived from the land institute in kansas and i will be planting them on campus tomorrow ( as well as finishing the sunchoke harvest and pulling in some cowpea plants, adding some manure, and making things as hospitable as i can...there is elephant garlic to plant at home as well...it's okay...autumn is always a busy time in the garden...and i am geeked about this...almost as geeked as the teosinte makes me.
