in terms of care i have not been neglecting the first garden on campus i have been involved in...but i have not been writing much about it even though it is flourishing...i have word that the university would like to reclaim the one hundred and sixty square feet i have gardened since the autumn of 2009...that is their right and privilege...so be it...i would hope they will allow the season to run its course before a shutdown since it has stared and there are many plants up and running including the asparagus in the third photo and the red pontiac potato in the fourth...some of the plants will be removable when they go into dormancy in the fall..others ( like the asparagus ) are doomed to be sodded over and mowed down...unfortunate but i ( or kathy forgey for that matter...the fire under the boiler for this garden ) never thought it would be a permanent installation..so its fifth season will be the last...i will save what i can through transplants and seed...bits of kathy's desire for research on campus will find their way around...these things happen.
