solanum and zea

errands after work had me in the vicinity of the "other garden" so i stopped in to see how my bed there was faring...

the spuds i transplanted last visit are doing well which is good...

and a few of those garlic cloves that were rooting have broken surface expanding the population above ground to half a dozen.....

back at home i had some tubers demanding to be planted...

and some four corners potatoes that seem to just want to be left alone...

so i dug a few trenches out in the dismal wheat bed...

laid in the tubers...

and just covered them with compost...

the four corners i put in a container and covered them with compost as well...if they should decide to overcome their inertia we will back fill and see what develops...

the basment teosinte has finally found the light of day since there is little danger of frost from here until autumn...

and i am wondering if that is an ear i am seeing.
