a short tramp around the yard

short mostly...

because, even though the thermometer array agrees it is "unseasonably warm", there isn't that much going on...and the "locally heavy rain" forecast for tonight followed by " 3"-7" of snow" tomorrow probably won't liven things up much...not that things are at a complete standstill...

there is green in the garlic patch...

and hardy berries in the beds...

and in the bed of my truck...

walking onions have walked all over the yard...

winter rye is finding daylight...

along with, due to the vagaries of snowmelt, a singular blade of winter wheat...all of it will be undercover again tomorrow if the forecast is even remotely correct...we'll see...

and in the basement the spuds are more viny than upright ( which is the way of wild potatoes...more vine than anything )...and the rye is "leggy"...it is all still green however...the rest is secondary down there.
