veering towards warm here for the time of year...no record in danger...still warmish...so i decided to have a tramp around the yard for a look and to take care of a couple of things...
i was pleased to find a couple of ramps up and running...the gardener is hoping for considerably more soon...we will see...
as a population the berries are evincing good new spring growth...where there are new leaves there will blooms and berries as verified by the basement colony ( still produceing daughters by the by )...
in other branches of the allium family ( this yard soes seem heavily biased towards allium, solanum, and zea..along with the relentless helianthus ) the garlic and the walking onions are greening vwery well...
both varieties of grape vine are budding...
the rye is rebounding...
the einkorn wheat i sowed some time back is finally beginning to show signs of turning into actual wheat...so i broadcast four hundred more seeds into the beds and will be moving towards a couple of comunity gardens to plant more later this week...
the einkorn i spilled while threshing and left in the husks just to see what it would do seems to be doing...well, nothing...inert...unsplit much less sprouted...it may be that, like mazie, it has been so radically artificialy selected that it cannot reproduce without human intervention...a sort of co-evolved dependence...read a label on some food "product" in the supermarket sometime...maize and humans seem to be unable to do without one another...
my mooseberry bush is also inert...which should..or should not...i am unfamiliar with the flora of frostbite falls and this may just be normal...disturb me...i will be vigilant...there will be news.
