some basement news

the shriveled spud i found on the bookshelf and planted twelve days ago has sprung into leaf...i will find room...somewhaere...it may even be able to finish outdoors...

while we are talking spuds, this one has sprung up in a container with one of the mashua plants in it...how it got there nobody knows....it is there none the less...

the older two yacon plants have had a growth spurt...

so have the newer arrivals...these will definitely finish outside in spring...

a young tesointe ear has appeared since my last basement post...

and the huskless seeds are still very green...

the two ears on this plant are becoming better defined...

and these emerging silks tell me the plant has a nascent third ear coming along...a very pleasant surprise for the evening...

finally, Jean's puddle wheat, its cohabiting onions, and the guest spud they are sharing their light with are all looking robust...still no sign of wears on the wheat...i am uncertain if there will be..we hold out hope, however the ethical deed here was in the plantging...there be no need of harvest...Jean has a kind heart.
