the exposed ear of hopi blue maize is giving us an insight into the progression of its season...a much longer season than sweet corn, it has another month to run...from top to bottom these photo were taken on the twentieth, twenty-second, twenty-sixth of this month and the last one was taken this evening...two days has made a colorful difference...more on this as it progresses.
Organic rather than transgenetic. Labor instead of chemicals. Diversity in place of monoculture.

About Me
- fred
- 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.
very interesting that it is yellow and gets blue later...wonder why?
ReplyDeletewell coach all i have found so far is that all "dark corn" like aztec black and hopi blue start out white or yellow and turn blue as they mature...the biological why is unfound as yet...but i am a member of the society for economic botany and will be asking around to see what i can glean
