backyard conditions

out back the corn in a bucket ( first photo ) is producing ( second )...however not nearly as robustly as its industrial cousins...it is providing a habitat for the praying mantis in the third photo so it is functional...the seedless grapes ( fourth and fifth ) have found the trellis and have firmly attached themselves with tendrils ( sixth through eighth )...no amount of cajoling or insistence on my part could get them to do this...they acted on their own...human intervention in the lives of plants has it limits..at least they did not spurn the trellis...simply adapted it to their purposes in their own good time...the walking onions have "walked " ( ninth ) and the aerial bulbs are looking for the soil ( tenth )...hoping for a self planted crop of onions next season...finally the ramp seed are beginning to mature with a quickening pace ( eleventh )...i harvested twenty-one more today ( twelfth )...some i will plant...some i will share...some i will freeze for future use.
