zea thanksgiving

autumn has settled in until winter ( eventually ) finds its way here...i have harvested most of the viable seed i could find...and some of questionable quality...the ears that are opening and shattering now are full of green and immature seeds without full seed cases so my thoughts are that the harvest is over...we will see about viability in a few months...

the maize stalks have support roots...

but nothing like the ones the teosinte produced...artificial selection at work? a spandrel created by selecting for larger kernels?

meanwhile the garlic that has taken root in my truck is behaving seasonally as well.
