another one of the last plantings of the winter

the root hairs on the teosinte seedlings in the top photo are pretty well developed so it's time to plant...i put some compost and potting soil in some peat pots, watered the mixture well, and put the seeds in...they have joined two more northern tepehuan teosinte plants i potted on sunday and are staying in the kitchen to grow in natural light...this makes nine plants germinated from seeds grown in my back yard and transferred into the basement to finish off their long season...nine second generation plants makes me happy, if no one else, and i will be putting these head start plants out in the wild as the weather moderates hoping to get them through a full season outdoors...all those seed ears that cane out last autumn have come to some fruition...i am curious to see if any seeds that i left out in the back yard or on campus germinate...whatever happens the campus gardens will be interesting places this coming season...there will be many posts.
