jean's puddle wheat

it has become a warm and sunny day ( finally ) here...

so i took jean's puddle wheat and its cohabiting onions out for a sunbath...

i took the two onions tot he bed on the south side of the house to place them in a more permanent home...

both plants were extremely pot bound after a winter in the basement so i shook their roots loose...

and planted both in holes deep and wide enough to accommodate their root systems...

while i was digging the holes i turned up an earth worm which always pleases me...it tells me the soil is organically healthy and that the fertility isn't out of a box of chemicals...a good sign of healthy soil...obviously the onions are staying out...so will jean's puddle wheat unless the temperature is near the frost level...it will be coming in then...it never has the proper conditions to reproduce in the basement...no ears of grain in sight...still..it was a fair season downstairs from its germination in a puddle until today...we will see how long it can go on...stay tuned.
