rolling along

went back to campus this morning to uncover the teosinte and drop some stuff off at the archives...the yams are really up and running ( top and bottom photos ) each have three vines going...it will be time to re-establish the trellis soon...perhaps tomorrow when i go back to plant potatoes...the teosinte weather the night fine and in that bed of dark, fresh compost the ground will warm well in the sunshine...they should be fine...even the ones up from seed are okay...the winter wheat on campus and here in my back yard is thriving...filling in rhyzomatically...i'm afraid some of the campus stand will have to go when the potatoes go in...there will be wild potatoes planted tomorrow as well...here at home i cleared out some ornamental grasses, spaded up the ground, turned in two hundred pounds of compost and planted scarlet runner beans,sunflowers, turnips, radishes, beets, and snow peas...the fearless jerusalem artichokes have made an appearance in my yard to compliment the hoard on ccampus and soon as my other order of seed potatoes shows up they will be going in too...things won't slow down until novemebr.
