celebratory update

we have discussed Jean's puddle wheat and her remarkable comeback more than once in this blog and today we will dive into the story again..this time with a sequel...i planted some of the "berries" puddles produced on my birthday and today i have evidence that her ancient dna continues its relentless reproduction...puddles herself was a second generation of winter wheat and in my basement today her offspring are germinating..she was of heirloom stock...cold hardy and sturdy ( as wheat goes ) and there will be more of her offspring before we are through...the kids are on the way...

in other news...the mashua cuttings i treated with rooting hormone seem to have taken and are evincing new growth...

as are the two ( i know...only one pictured ) fully rooted plants i brought i..if indoor tubers are the only reproductive success the plants will provide we will work with that...more on pouddle's family as it arises.
