spent about half an hour on campus this morning ( 6:55-7:30) just to do some watering...there's a fifty percent chance of rain today in the last forecast i saw...that's not good enough and just looking around to see what's up...literally...the big news today is there is asparagus up ( top photo )...the first of the eight out there to show up...so the mulch worked or one anyway...the middle two photos are of new growth and greening in the gamagrass clumps...they made it to around three feet tall last season...this season the runt will not be overshadowed by jerusalem artichokes and the others will not be competeing with a forest of cowpeas (there will be cowpeas again...but in a much more organized fashion...i still want to work with green manures) so, perhaps, the will reach the four feet mark this year...spinach, turnips and a single yam plant ( the other yam bed has significant mole damage and may be late or may not be at all...i am hopeful but i am also planning to use some of the aerial bulbs from last year if necessary) are going...no sign of spring wheat or beets yet...i wasn't really expecting any yet...the jerusalem artichokes will be along soon if the rouge i found is any indication...more later today as i plant potatoes here at home.
