wandered out to the campus garden early this morning to have a look around and found it about as quiet as i had expected...
there was supposed to be campus wide earth day tree planting going on yesterday...the trees arrived..clearly the planters did not ( i had to work which is my reason, although doubtlessly some would term it an "excuse" )...well..the weather was inclement in the morning...perhaps there was a late start...i wonder whose bed they plan on shading...
the asparagus isn't waiting around for anyone...it is booming along...
some is ready to harvest...
some are just breaking surface...
and some are putting their energy into height rather than diameter and are already so close to "ferning" that i do believe they will be left to feed the roots rather than humans...
over in my bed along the periphery things are somewhat quieter..again it is an expected quietude...
the smaller of the transplanted alfalfa plants seems very happy in its new location...green with new growth...moving on from the move...
the larger is still clearly shocked...there is still green however and i am hoping to see a recovery and some new growth in a week or two...
i just planted the spuds last friday and i did not think there would be much of any activity there and i was not disappointed...the spuds were all chitting when i planted them and a couple of the blues have broken surface....and that's about it..nos signs of leaves...or even a tinge of chlorophyll...they will be along in the next few weeks as well...the population will expand as weather warms.
