teosinte seeds on the hoof
a couple of the teosinte ears have split open revealing some really green seeds...geeked isn't quite strong enough to convey my viewpoint on this...the race with the frost is on in earnest now...i am armed with frost cloth and dowel rods for the next few weeks...even though the grower i purchased them from recommends having at least one hundred plants to insure genetic diversity if you plan to d=save seeds my hopes are that they will be viable...a second generation from seeds that grew in my yard would be cool...more as this develops...more from the campus garden soon as well...i have been harvesting cowpea pods for next years nitrogen supply...the first hard frost will see the jerusalem artichoke harvest and the winter wheat sowing...things will be busy well into november.
