some maize...some wheat

drove over to campus this morning...

where the asparagus is continuing its now ninety-nine day upright streak...

and has put up a couple of late summer spears...

late summer also finds the carolina horse nettle still blooming...

and, while the hopi turquoise maize still has a number of green ears...

more ears are telling me they are as done as they are going to get...

and these have a somewhat larger pallet of shades of blue than the first ones i brought in...the soil was beyond damp due to recent rain and cool days so there was no need to water...and beyond that the campus garden, in terms of my involvement, is quiet...

in the back yard the teosinte has more energent ears...however the seed is nowhere near mature...a few more weeks before and serious amount can be harvested...and...

over in the winter wheat bed...

in a matter of four days we find ourselves rich with green shoots...i, for one, am pleased.
