the out of sync, two years in a row, bean filed behind the big bpox stores is pretty much done too...the green canopy has shriveled here as well...exposing pods...
although this field had been sprayed with herbicide at one point in the season there is green topping out above the beans and more than a little queen anne's lace in the rows...stubborn stuff it is not easily intimidated by humans or roundup...
queen anne's lace or not there is as large a multitude of harvest ready beans here as there are next tot he supermarket...and suffering from the same depressed prices...
the field has been for sale for a number of years ( in fact since i started writing about it ) an effort by the municipality to zone agriculture out of suburbia...keep them moving south..this may be bias...it may be aspiration...the results of over-extended aspiration will come up at the end of the post..but first...
the field across the street burdened with dense yellow #2 is for sale as well...more aspiration...
even though the majority of the plants were only three fingers ( which works out to two and a half inches by my tape rule ) they all produced exactly one large ear...
somewhat surprisingly, even when the planter skipped and the plants sprouted around a foot apart...
each plant still produced only one ear...limits to monsanto's engineering?
how long has the road to nowhere been in existence? i'd have to mine the blog...however i am inclined to say it has endured four years of patient waiting for the aspirations of sterling creek road to be realized...
it's still there...nicely improved...fire hydrant, double yellow line, an almost virgin sidewalk...waiting for the economy to catch up.
