expectations met

it hadn't rained yet ( never trust the rain...and what precipitation has fallen has been meager and short lived ) so the first thing i did was soak my bed because it has been dry since i resowed my bed with winter wheat after the first crop railed ( for whatever reason )...then i had a close look...

what i found was the stragglers left over from the first seeding...

and not much beyond that...i had set my expectations for this at not "high" earlier in the week and i may have ( for once ) been prescient...then again, the weather could moderate and i could have a bed of wheat in november...we will see...

down the row the asparagus is still greening away...

with a newly ripened clutch of "berries"...

and a few green ones to show that the last burst of blooms wasn't a waste of energy...

as well as a couple of newly hatched late season spears...it may be past mid-october but the plants have not gotten the "slow down, it's fall" memo yet...my surmise is they won't be done by early november either...this may put a hitch in the mulching schedule.
