an additional inch of rain this morning to add to the five we got from friday afternoon through yesterday morning...
has again absolved me of any responsibility for watering at the garden...a three weeek streak if i am not mistaken...
the asparagus is still green and pushing up autumn spears to feed the roots...it will go on until a frost and i will mulch it for winter in early november...
i am unclear about the reason this pile of mulch and/or compost is so perilously close to my assigned bed...however if it ends up in my bed i will riot...because...
the crimson clover from the green manure mix i planted last week...
and the winter wheat have germinated...there is every possibility that there is rye in this photo as well...difficult to differentiate at this stage and there is rye in the mix...
a considerable amount of the seed floated to the surface in the recent rains..i believe i mentioned that wheat will surface germinate in yesterday's post and here is evidence to back that claim...
the yellow peas had floated to and since they are not as prone ( although they may ) to surface germinate i replanted all i found...
the predators have found the rest of the maize...that's all...
the other zea family member had more ears announcing the end of their season...
so i harvested more mature seed...pleased no one pulled the teocintli thinking it was a "weed" this year...
the pepper is soldiering on into october...
while some one/thing has made off with the tomato...
the carolina horse nettle is still doing well...
and as i was preparing to leave the garden was granted a regal visit...plebe that i am i was allowed to take some photos...abetted by cool temperatures that rendered her highness a bit sluggish
