out and in

there has been a return of seasonably cold temperatures...

but not before temperatures above freezing melted what little insulating snow there was from the winter rye...which does not look especially happy about it...

the new york import wild strawberries ( "tough little plants" ) are hunkering down...

and teosinte ears continue to open and shatter...

the teosinte in the basement is doing fine...and i finally got a focused photo of the support roots on one of them...

the mashua growing from a cutting continues to expand it leaves and exhibit new growth...still no sign of movement from the three tubers i have in peat pots down there...

and last but certainly not least, Jean's puddle wheat and its cohabiting onions are both looking robust...there may be "beer and onions" ( on the ancient egyptian sense ) sooner or later.
