grass in general
the hopi blue at the pgp is doing fine as well as the teosinte ( top two photos )...so are the chinese yams . asparagus, and intermediate wheat grass in the middle photo...a second terminal spear has appeared on the gamagrass and there are other terminal stems forming in both clumps of grass ( bottom two photos )...slow but relentless colonizers the gamagrass was difficult to germinate...only three of thirty seeds planted in the fall of 2009...they are native to northwest indiana and have proven to be a hardy plant...obviously they have found what they need even if they are somewhat difficult...the weather has cooled and some of the plants ( particularly the maize ) seem confused but the grasses are coming along in the garden.
an ex- industrial worker ( the continued automation of jobs, condensing of ownership, plant closings, trade wars, and degradation of living standards here has rendered me a former industrial worker...now just part-time lumpen proletariat) and university student (everyone needs a hobby...my hobbies have evolved and, to keep things straight, i have left my formal student career behind for reasons that are too detailed to delve into here...continuing to be a student of life however and not adverse to learning...stasis is death ) sliding down the back side of middle age...a social loner with collectivist leanings...explain that.
