wheat weather
but clearly the teosinte finds it acceptable as well...the northern tepehuan on campus is evincing what must be a last spurt of growth as it produces more leaves and even flowers...no seeds unfortunately...the winter wheat is filling in nicely...there are newly germinated sprouts and many of the plants have developed a second leaf...the chlorophyll is gearing up before the plants go dormant...over four hundred up ( in a really unscientific census...there may be an unacceptable margin of error for academic work...but the anthropology is elsewhere in the garden....the wheat is sustainability...the again...trying to develop a culture of sustainability makes it anthropology anyway...win/win...except for the unscientific count business) and the beds and half barrels at home are sprouting prolifically as well...all we need now is some snow for insulation...but not til after the yam/asparagus mulch please...more on that as the asparagus dies back.
