not only are the yema de huevos potatoes filling the half barrel, they are working on blooming ( top two photos )...purplish looking buds that will be more thoroughly photographed this weekend...hope there's a good number to tubers about to be set...i have four hopi blue maize plants out there ( i will garner no maize...the squirrels will ) and they are doing well even if they are a bit battered by recent storms ( third photo )...the turnips are doing nicely and will be ready in june ( forth photo ) while the shadow cast by the jerusalem artichokes is deepening to the detriment of all the other plants in the bed...except, seemingly, the lamb's quarters that are dead center in the bottom photo...still haven't found the time to look into this with any depth so will continue to document the relationship as the other plants succumb to the relentless tubers...lots of teosinte up and running...some asparagus...bur=t still no sign of the shang i planted late last summer...i have ordered stratified seed that will arrive in august and i have a spot picked out that may prove more amenable tot he touchy plants...they are native so if i provide the proper conditions perhaps i can coax some into lake county...more s it comes up
