unseasonably cold

today's high temperature is forecast to be thirty-five degrees ( fahrenheit ) which is a might chilly for mid-november here...and lows are forecast to be in the single digits over the weekend...that has not deterred this michigan blue from screaming it is time to be planted...so...

i found a five gallon bucket with the requisite drainage holes...

tossed in some perlite...

and mixed it in with the compost i added to keep the soil loose for young roots...

and gave the spud a home in what resembles an alien landscape with alien included...then i went outside...

to have a look at the teosinte and search for some seed...

i found a few that may be viable to add to the harvest, however i am afraid anything out there that is still green will not be maturing...that harvest is, i believe, ended...we will look some more when the weather moderates next week...i am not especially sanguine though.
