dna does not waste time and there is reproduction going on every day out back...ears, flowers, seeds, bees...everything is in a state of movement...the winter rye continues to ripen and will be the first grain to be harvested and, as these things go , the first to be replanted...
the black tip wheat was the first of the spring wheats to "ear" and will doubtlessly be the next harvest...
Jean's long-lived and obdurate "puddle wheat" has now deployed six ears with more on the way...the wheat story of the season...
the dwarf syrian wheat has numerous, green, robust ears...
while the emmer...
and einkorn are just beginning to emerge...
the yellow onions are beginning to bloom...someone will tell me to pinch them off...however i will not...this is their second year,the onions are large....and i want the seeds...
in their own berserk fashion the egyptian walking onions are propagating themselves...aerial bulbs and flowers are redundant...and dna is adamant...
the potted teosinte has multiple ears along the stem and some still very green seeds showing...these will certainly have a full season since they were well developed before i brought them out from the basement...so hoping for the possibility of a third generation of viable seed produced in my yard...
what i have seen in the way of honey bees this year have been all over the winter vetch...
and they have responded by producing seed pods like a good legume...
meanwhile the leaf cutters are dancing with the alfalfa...things are definitely changing...you can see it if you pay attention ( deniers scoff! )...nature still works...we will see if we can adapt as well.
