it has be3en a glomy day in the seventies ( fahrenheit ) today...however things have not ground to a halt...
a small wasp was visiting the grapes...
a single, slow bee in the hawthorn posed for multiple photos...
the egyptian walking onions are both flowering and deploying aerial bulbs preparatory to "walking"...
the mashua continues to produce new leaves and look more like its cousin the nasturtium...
i lashed the potted teosinte to a support pole to keep it from falling over...it continues to produce ears and green seeds are now clearly visible...
the chinese yam is vining they way yams do...all over the trellis...and adding new leaves every day...waxy and very green...
yesterday the puddle wheat took pride of place at the end of the blog because the first ear of wheat appeared...and today puddles has brought forth a second one which the gardener finds both surprising ( but puddles has been a sort of surprise all her life ) and cheering in a somewhat dreary day...however...
today's end note goes to no less a pleasing find...these two photos are of asparagus seedlings each about an inch and a half tall ( about three and three quarters centimeters )...they have germinated from seed i collected at the community garden on campus last autumn and which i planted in the container with the potted teosinte ( so i could find them ) a month or so ago...the asparagus in the community garden was grown from seed from the original asparagus in the perennial garden project over by ( coincidentally to the bees in the tree ) hawthorn hall ( which has hawthorn trees planter along its from on broadway ) so a part of the original garden that kathy forgey and i started has come home to my yard...perhaps not full circle...some closure none the less.
