ready or not...the season has started

teosinte isn't the only thing up in the garden...the top photo is the winter wheat flourishing even though it likes it a bit cooler...the gamagrass continues to green up as well as develop new growth...it is headed into its third season and the bigger one ( that wasn't stunted by all the jerusalem artichokes in 2010 ) should reach its full size this year with the possibility of a crown four feet in diameter...speaking of jerusalem artichokes, four are up( that's one in the third photo ) and the rouges should be popping up as well...on campus and in my back yard where there ares till multitudes in storage pits...an invasion i'll have to head off...finally the asparagus is making an appearance as well...the weather is due to cool a bit and, with luck, there will be some rain as well...if not we run the risk of a short asparagus season with some woody vegetables...the perennial garden project's third season is underway...soon the potatoes ( including a primitive cultivar and wild and weedy ancestors ) will be going in...so much to do...finally.
