things are going well out back, for the nonce at least...calyces have closed and strawberries are cooking...
the onions i did not pinch off have begun to uncoil from the buds to bloom and produce aerial bulbs...
never ones to be shy about growth...or taking over every available inch for that matter...the jerusalem artichokes that were just breaking surface a couple of weeks ago have reached about two feet...
a surprise ( there were none apparent last season as i recall ) chinese yam has arisen so i put in a tomato stake as the beginnings of a trellis...
and another has come up amid the berries...so another vine and another type of aerial bulb on the way...
eleusis has returned to the yard as the wheat begins to produce ears of grain...
the winter rye has begun to flower...
and the asparagus...
and some of the spuds on the south side of the house seem determined to catch up soon...
seven teosinte plants up and running ( with more germinated seed ready to plants directly ) won't make me anything but pleased ( no maize yet though...they didn't have a head start however )
the seedless grapes are filling in nicely...but what has to be ( for me ) the best news of the day is that...
from concord grape vines i thought were doomed new growth has irrupted..
all along the vines...
and they have made it clear that they fully intend to produce grapes...celebrate when the news is good...there are bound to be losses...gardens are like that...more as it comes up...
