eleusis

a day in the life of the winter rye hasn't changed it much...except in one detail...

one ear has begun to flower...others will follow..then fertile grain...to eat and to sow...

this is what the header is about though...there are fully emerged ears of wheat in the wheat bed...eleusinian mysteries are in the yard again and there is another connection to the deeper past of human and plant interaction...co-evolution...not, perhaps, the symbiosis of man and maize...but an ancient connection none the less...i'm geeked...you may not be...that is alright...

berries are edging closer in the south bed...

and they have turned into relentless producers of stolons...

the berries are looking green and robust in the rain/sunshine/rain cycle of the past month...and they need to be...

one day may have changed the winter rye in a measurable way...however the change was one small flower...

two days have seen changes in the jerusalem artichokes that must, at least from the berries' point of view, seem ominous.
