thaw's over

winter has made something of a return on the south end of the inland sea...

and it is "lake effect" snow that is trying to reinsulate the winter rye...

it's january however there are still teosinte seeds in ears that have not opened yet much less shattered...

the original growth on this mashua plant that was grown from a cutting has died back which led me to think the peat pot was becoming too confining, so...

so i transplanted it into a container and put it in the plant room under the lights with the rest of the mashua...

the spuds in the nursery are coming along well...

as is the yacon ( although there is still no word from the third rhizome )

there are plentiful nasturtiums cohabiting with the teosinte...

another teosinte flower is blooming...

however i still have no real idea what this structure on the plant next door might be...we will have to wait for event to evolve before we find some conclusion...

and last ( but surely not least ) Jean's "puddle wheat is looking robust ( along with its cohabiting onions )...it has been under the lights for seventy-six days...if all goes well ears should begin to form late this month and ( perhaps ) we will have indoor wheat berries before spring...
