another half dozen maize plants have sprouted flowers in various stages of deployment...when flowers appear stems start to thicken on the main stalk and on the tillers ( unlike dense yellow #2 these heirloom plants all want to produce multiple ears of corn ) and ears follow in , what is in plants, fairly short succession...the race with the squirrels is about to begin...everybody likes corn.
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.
