planting day appendix II

the jerusalem artichokes have eleven days to keep my one foot prediction from becoming a public embarrassment...that's not asking too much is it? the mashua in the second photo still has me geeked...i don't think the chancellor knew quite what to make of it...the potatoes are roaring away ( soon to be joined by a multitude more )...and what has to be the find of the day for me...infant asparagus hauled over as seed i naturalized in the old garden last autumn and miraculously in the right place to germinate... a stunning ( for me anyway ) example of dna's insistence on replicating itself any way it can.
