tendrils, seeds, and rain

temperatures below freezing at night have not phased the winter vetch...it is busy setting nitrogen in a future potato patch and it is all putting out tendrils to pull itself up to more sunlight...some have found an anchor point...it's seed time and i am about done harvesting teosinte seed...i have culled a couple of hundred from ears on the plants and i have left nearly as meany to fall naturally to see if we find any in spring...either way there will be zea family grasses out there in spring ( but not zea mays )...it has turned wet here of late...1.7" of rain since friday...the new rain gauge has had a workout...more on tap late tomorrow and into tuesday...a rain-soaked start to december.
