it's been a pretty good week for the garden....we're making progress without too many glitches...i counted nine jerusalem artichokes up this morning ( the top photo is the biggest of the bunch)...i don't believe ther were any last weekend, although i did see them popping up during my weekday visits and put some photos up on facebook...that leaves five unaccounted for...this week should tell that story...the spinach and arugula are coming along too (second photo) i've planted some of each at home and will probably plant spinach every two weeks ( i have a quarter pound of seeds...no worries there) around here to see how long i can keep it producing and will sow a second crop in the garden on campus if there's time...the runt elphant garlic (photo three) is showing signs of growth so that could be alright...there's a frost warning for tonight and that could cause it some problems...the yams are still dormant and the potatoes aren't up yet so they shouldn't be impacted and the spinach, arugula, and jerusalem artichokes are cold hardy so should have no issues...the last photo is just a comparison shot...and i forgot to mention ( or photograph) that there are five shoots of eastern gamagrass up as well...i am working on germinating teosinte...the asparagus isn't here yet (why not?)...neither are the worms...and wheatgrass goes in next month...overall we seem to be doing okay...we'll make our own luck through work...more as it develops.
