winter wheat, an indoor season, and a bureaucratic note

it is cold in my back yard...then again it is cold in most everyone's back yard in most of the country so don't get the idea i am complaining...
the winter wheat finally has some snow cover...but not enough to cover everyone...i am uncertain about spring outcomes...we will simply have to wait...
it is christmas eve...something like four degrees or so ( fahrenhait ) and there is still a touch of green in the asparagus ( yes it has mostly died back...but not all )...just saying bureaucrats...
downstairs where it is about sixty degrees warmer there are four tesointe plants coming along well...time to transplant to larger homes soon...
the michigan blue down there is tall and leafy...productive is another issue...another "wait and see"...a lot of this is wait and see...that's how it is today...more as it comes up

homegrown

neat stuff out back tonight when i got home...the asparagus i planted six year ago has weathered a couple of harsh winters and is still producing ( top photo )...four leaves on the teosinte plant in the second photo are good news as it the tillering of the spring wheat in the third...newly minted spuds are up in the fourth photo while the grape vine in the fifth is producing leaves and tendrils to latch onto the trees around it and escape into the sun above the canopy...cooler still are the two nascent grape flowers in the bottom photo...blooms = grapes..we will be watching these all summer.
