the flower on the basement teosinte continues to bloom ( top photo) and the silks on the top ear are soaking up the pollen (second photo )...seeds have appeared as the top ear emerges form the stem ( third photo ) and the gardener is geeked...meanwhile the second ear is emerging and deploying more silks ( fourth and fifth photos )..all this started out as test germinations to determine seed viability for this spring...i wasn't going to toss the sprouts but i didn't expect to see an indoor plant get this far along...a bonus for the past winter's basement work...smiles all round.
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.
