peri-urban? nexus? i call it home

the curbs, pavement, storm sewers, and street lights are still there along with the sign that says it is available for some fearless developer to turn into to tract housing, mcmansions, or another assisted living center...there don't seem to be many takers though...not even a lease from a farmer seemingly...a good portion of the season's industrial dense yellow number two is already in fields south of this one and it is getting a bit late for that...it was a corn field last season though and may become a bean field yet...june tenth is pretty much the latest date for soybeans ( this according to the purdue univeristy extension ) so there's still time for that if they get off their duffs and do some tilling and planting...if not it will be a fallow field...t is already filling with weeds and while i found some kernels out there that could turn into voluntary liberty link corn what i mostly found was rows of empty cobs rotting back into the ground ( one wonders just how much there is in the way of nutrients for the soil there is n those industrial leftovers...might be worth researching ) all those birds i saw out here in the early spring have derived what nutrition they could from the gleanings and they were pretty efficient by the looks of it...so the big box stores may not have feedstock for some of their products growing out back this season...perhaps the supply chain just got that much longer.
