it's been dry and windy in these parts recently so i went out to campus this morning to water the winter wheat because it hasn't gotten cold enough yet to send the wheat into dormancy and the wind is drying the garden out...the wheat in my backyard is better sheltered by the raised beds but i watered it as well...the good news is that the wheat is taking advantage of the mild weather we've had so far this month and has begun to tiller which means it's pretty well established and a good number of plants should survive the winter ( top and bottom photos)...the zea diploperennis that i moved indoors last month seems to be fine as well...both of those plants are tillering up new growth as well so the grow light seems to be providing an adequate environment...it's early days though and there are many things that could go wrong still..i will be moving them up and down the stairs so they can grab some natural light throughout the winter and get a break from the basement.
