perennial garden project 11-3-2011





stopped off on campus just to check up on things...more winter wheat sprouts have appeared so there are well over four hundred plants in various stages of development...those that make it through the winter will fill in the stand i leave up by spreading rhizomes...the rest will return nitrogen to the soil for the crop of potatoes and wild potatoes that i'm putting in ( and, perhaps, some turnips as well )...most of the asparagus is still green so the mulching will wait at least another week, i believe it was november seventh when i mulched last year...we'll be a bit later this year but seasons are never the same anyway...if you look closely enough ( or magnify the photo) you can see the winter wheat coming up in the long shot of the garden in november.
