now that the wheat is out i needed something to fill in the garden until the autumn brings something of a change of direction so i soaked some oaxacan green dent and hopi blue maize seeds overnight in non-chlorinated water and this morning i went out and put in eleven more plants ( five hopi blue and six oaxacan green ) to go along with the two hopi blues already up and running...the third photo is of a lonely squash plant ( i neglected to bring more seeds...squash planting again monday or tuesday )...the intermediate wheat grass in the fourth photo is flowering...i believe i will be bringing some of this seed home to start some stands here just to add some more clutter to my backyard...same goes for the flowering eastern gamagrass..three plants now have a total of fifty proaxes and terminal spears...there will be quite a few seeds this year...some will have to b viable...so far so good this season...despite the bird attacks on the wheat there is still ample seed left for my purposes ( especially in addition to the crop in my backyard ) and the squirrel i saw in the garden this morning ( time to put out some repellent ) more as the maize progresses and the potatoes mature...
