mostly mashua

yesterday's teosinte transplants seem to be doing okay in their new homes...a little early fro any definitive answer on that just yet...

and two of them are definitely putting out flowers...

the potatoes i found chitting in the pantry a week ago are greening up and will be leafing soon...i had actually hoped to avoid indoor spuds this winter...working out the need for water in a cool, humid basement is a touchy business...dead plants, mold, rotten tubers...it isn't a cheery pastime usually...i wasn't going to toss them however...so we will move forward...

i found aerial bulbs from egyptian walking onions sprouting in the pantry a week ago as well...they are coming along...a it over an inch tall...

the bogota market mashua that is growing from a cutting is putting out four new leaves...this will be a candidate for a transplant soon...

however the big news ( in my estimation anyway ) from today is that one of the bogota market tubers has sprouted a stem and leaves overnight which doubles my mashua population and makes me a happy gardener...the season is moving along...the solstice is nearly here...soon enough it will be time to move out back and plant spring wheat and look for ramps.
