my back yard recieved a touch over two inches of rain in about two hours yesterday evening...no complaints about that...
there was no hail, however the rain was heavy at times and it caused some of the teosinte to lean...
no worries though...it is a maize ancestor, and like its progeny you can simply stand it back up...i buttressed them with some garden soil and no harm done...
recent rains have induced new irruptions of dryad's saddles on the dead elm...
a bit of left handed scale...
the jerusalem artichokes have topped six feet and under that netting to the left are a wealth of seedless grapes which the camera seems unable to focus on...i have some stunning shots of the netting however...
i could get some clear photos of the concord grapes in the fir tree however...these will be netted soon enough as well...
the mooseberry bush, which looked like a dead stick to me a couple of springs ago, has topped the cage with new growth...we will be turning him loose soon...theey can reach twelve feet in height i am told...the jerusalem artichokes have a challenger for the verticality crown...
the everbearing strawberries are bearing...
the four corners potatoes are looking robust...
and the largest is signaling an attempt to bloom...these are new to me, however i would presume if the blooms hold there may be four corners potato fruits in the offing...i will keep my expectations in check...potatoes produce fruits rarely ( around here at any rate...cool, wet weather seems to be a requirement )..and these are of the same family...more news as it occurs...
there are tomatoes...
and the hopi blue maize is looking sturdy, if short.
