a sunday off so off to the community gardens to see what was what...
the asparagus on campus has thrown up another spear...as the weather cools there may be more and, possibly, edible ones...
since the einkorn has finished the back of the bed has become somewhat "weedy"...
the bureaucrats can become a might testy over that sort of thing...so i brought along the weeding hoe...
and cleared the native growth into a pile...
it has been dry lately and a bit warm...i noticed the soil in the asparagus bed was dry as i cleared it...the asparagus doesn't care, however the maize does so i irrigated the maize bed...
dry or not the hopi turquoise seems to be fine...
with multiple ears coming along...
this season is winding down...still the alfalfa is as unruly as ever and still in bloom...feeding the bees...
and while we are talking bees, they were mugging the bean blossoms over at the portage garden...
three more spuds had finished up over there...
the largest was just a few ounces short of a pound...
and the whole haul wighed in at four pound eight and three eights ounces which puts the production from that bed at a shade over twenty-five pounds...
the portage maize is tall...looking around eleven or twelve feet...
and there are maturing and relatively recent ears here as well...
even if something seems to be trying to get at them...
finally, i found a carerpillar on a tomato...not a monarch...and possibly not beneficial to the tomato...this will run its course...live and let live...more about the back yard as the teosinte comes along.
