june storm

the wheat and rye that were green and upright at the beginning of the month had begun to ripen...

hints at a maturation had begun to creep into the grains' color...

something over an inch of rain in two short, sharp bursts this afternoon...

bludgeoned them both...not a disaster...i believe they will simply ripen in a more prone position...

some of the maize found itself at odd angles as well...

its ancestor teosinte has a marked inclination to fall over of its own volition without much of any damage...maize is not especially prone to falling over on its own...however, thanks to its genetics it doesn't much mind it either...just set it back upright...no harm, no foul...

the onions, jerusalem artichokes, and chinese yams shrugged it off as just another day...

while the blooms on the spuds saw fit to close up shop for the day...

the onions and roses stayed open.
