vines and grains

i found a couple of concord grape vines growing through the fence into the neighbor's yard and i wasn't having that so i pulled them back through...

drove in a couple of five foot garden stakes...

drilled a few holes...

strung the stakes with galvanized wire...

and gave them a new home...

they have good new growth at the ends so i don't doubt we will be expanding and improving this...

the surprise grape vine out by the alley...

is going about the business of attaching itself to the fence rather than "native growth"...

these have fine new growth as well so we may need to make a turn before we reach the back gate...

most of the winter rye is finished...

you can see the grain in the ears...however there is a threat of rain today and i do not want to being in soggy rye so harvest will wait for a sunny, breezy day..

the wheat there is is mostly finished as well...it will receive the same treatment as the rye for the same reason...

seen from the top mooseberry is another case of" good new growth"...

there's quirte a bit of green out there like garlic and the sweet clover that is cohabiting...

so the bush may be difficult to pick out...however a diet of compost and worm castings has fendered it far more robust than last season...there's more but it is a day off and i have things to do...we will get to the rest later
