i went out to campus early today because i was up anyway and here wasn't that much cooking at home...fall is in the air and you can see it reflected om the garden...the top and bottom photos are of aerial bulbs that the yams are producing...there don't seem to be nearly as many this year as last...but it was cool last spring and the yams came out of dormancy late and didn't really start to vine until june so it may be a lesser reproductive season this year...the cowpeas are producing pods in earnest ( and are still flowering ) they will continue to do so until the first killing frost...the other photo is a long shot of the garden...you can see the die-back in the jerusalem artichokes starting to take hold...i will cut them down soon but will not harvest until the cowpeas are done..then comes the big dig for the tubers and the chinese yams..then winter wheat sowing and mulching the yams and asparagus for winter...another month and a half of outdoor activity...then next season to plan...it will be spring soon enough.
