inside out

despite the fact that it may be so painfully slow as to be unobservable there is always movement..in the basement...and in the yard...this potted northern tepehuan teosinte plant in the basement has hit the two foot or better mark ...and, while it has not flowered yet it has begun to produce support roots to steady it and it gains verticality...

the ear on this non-standard zea mexicana plant ( in my experience anyway ) is well formed and coming along...

as are these long established ears on another plant...

as well as some newly sprouted ears on several plants...

and while the basement season ( there is more..yacon, mashua, spuds...another post ) slowly comes to fruition the season in the back yard is moving, albeit ( again ) slowly, along...there are nascent leaves on a few of the ramps..a sure sign of april.
