christmas in the basement

mostly just some random photos with a couple of interesting developments...

this spud continues to adapt well tot he basement...another two days ( top photo is from the twenty-third ) and a significant amount of growth has occurred..it won't stay ion that peat pot much longer...

the teosinte provides another event...one of the flowers they have produced is actually flowering...no indications of anything like ears yet...and i am skeptical that there will be...at least not from these premature plants...

finally, in terms of new news, the most recent mashua to appear has now deployed four leaves and seems to be in fine shape...good news for the gardener...

the egyptian walking onions remind me of cacti...

a few more premature/immature teosinte flowers...

Jean's "puddle wheat" still in festive garb...

and, finally, a fir tree out back by the catalpa...unmolested...in situ...natural...where it belongs...in the ground...
