there seems to be no escaping spuds anymore

the lawn at the campus garden is making it clear that there has been rain of late...we will see how long that keeps up...

rain or not this asparagus is dying back and it is far too early for that...i am uncertain of what is up here...the spear is not broken so there must be something else at work...the rest seems to be fine...this too we will wait and see about...

the spuds are looking well...

the soil is moist up to the surface...so no watering...

some of the spuds have finished up...so...

there was a harvest...

three plants...two pounds two ounces of tubers...and a few drops to plant...and i left the smallest ones in the bed as volunteers...

an important correspondent to this blog will be pleased at the alfalfa's continuing disdain...

it is still blooming away...

and attracting visitors...

however many of the blooms have gone to seed...

and i do not think all the yellow in the leaves is from overwatering...there are early hints of autumn in the air...

irrespective of what event time is hinting at the alfalfa still stubbornly goes about the business of establishing new stands around the garden...another determined perennial.
