check-up

the campus is, i believe, officially closed until the second of january...being who i am i pretty much ignored that ( and, conversely, i was pretty much ignored ) and went out there to have a look around...at first glance both gardens present a fairly dormant prospect but things never really stop out there...there still a limited amount of photosynthesis going on in the gamamgrass at the pgp ( third photo ) and while the annual rye in the green manure mix has died back the winter rye and dixie clover in the fourth photo aren't showing any signs of incipient dormancy...there are still a few intermediate wheat grass seed heads that have not shattered and the broccoli in the community garden still displays a multiplicity of whole seed pods ( and a bit of green yet )...the mulch cover are all intact and i don't see any signs of rodents burrowing into the tubers that are planted there...things look fine...two-and-a-half months until the annual tesointe goes in.
