quiet planting

it has been raining here lately...

which should tell you that the temperatures have been mostly above freezing...at least in daylight...there have been evenings in the teens here already...

and since there has been cold with no sonow the wheat is, once again, looking less than happy out there...beyond that it is a quiet yard...

inside the teosinte seed from 2021 that i soaked is coming along...

to the point that this particular seed is ready to plant...

so perlite, compost, and worm castings into a peat pot...with distilled water making a rather muddy consistency...

and a seedling has a new home...

under the lights from last winter's berry colony ( they came in a year and a week ago...there are no berries out there trying to bloom at the moment )...for now...if this succeds there will be a bigger home and taller lights...

the michigan blue spud has more than topped the bucket it lives in and there are more leaves on the way...

the rest of the seed potatoes from last season's harvest are still resting quietly...we will see for how long...

and, in a final note to the bureaucrats, yes the asparagus is dying back...and yes there is still ample green as well.
