well...the photos of the winter wheat are in inverse order but they still show growth...the top photo is from today...the second from the fourth of this month and the third photo is from the twenty-ninth of last month...there are a shade over five hundred plants up and running on campus...several thousand out in the back yard...i planted approximately ten thousand seeds ( about a pound )so that's a fair return...the weather is set to turn towards winter later this week , however the plants are easily the same size or bigger than the ones i planted last fall and that crop has become this one...hopefully that bodes well for the future...one of the two northern tepehuan teosinte plants on campus has snapped off just below a node of support roots...wind, critters ( squirrels have been very active around here the past week) human intervention...don't know and it really doesn't matter...its season is pretty much done and it served the purpose of morphological comparison with maize very well...the asparagus is dying back as well and i believe there will be a mulching expedition on an early morning this coming weekend...i have the necessary components...i will look for a comparatively windless day ( i loathe chasing rouge straw around the grounds )
