both the annual ( top photo ) and perennial ( second photo ) strains of the maize ancestor teosinte have reached a couple of inches in height and now that the weather is warming they should start to grow like...well...corn...should be able to visibly see it grow if you have the right kind of eyes...the eastern gamagrass in the third photo is a hardy native grass that serve as a forage plant...mostly for deer around here...they seem to love the seeds which is ood since they resemble nothing so much as little chunks of wood when they mature...no accounting for taste i suppose...the winter rye that i panted as a cover crop with the fall green manures ( hairy vetch, dixie clover , and yellow peas ) has seed heads developing...i believe i will let them mature and save more seed...thee will be bits and pieces of this garden spread around after the autumn shutdown...it will remain in spirit and in fact.
