more zea

worked this morning, came home, went to the "other garden" and did some work on some beds for another family member and when i got home...

i thought it might be time to look in on the teosinte seed i soaked a while back... in the first baggie i found more than a few that were clearly saying it was time to plant...

the second batch had a number that were ready as well...

so i amended the soil in two beds...

planted eight in one...

and nine in the other...the rest went back to a dark place to cook a while longer...seventeen in and more to go...we will be keeping an eye on things..it is not exactly forecast to be overly warm the next few days...not ideal weather for teosinte...however the time had clearly come...no danger of frost...they may stall for a while...they will pick up when it warms...the hopi blue maize will go in at the end of the month and we will see how ( or if ) they interact
