grasses and clover

the lone stalk of perennial teosinte is still the lone stalk this morning...i have requested more seed from the usda to establish a new stand somewhere else on campus and will probably overseed to insure some germination next spring...th eintermediate wheat grass from kansas has begun to flower, joining in with the gamagrass...starlings thoroughly mauled the wheat grass last season so a way to bag the seed heads will be on a short list of things to do...the dixie clover in the pgp bloomed far earlier than the clover i have at home so i wanted to check the seed heads for maturity...sure enough some are ready to shatter so i harvested half a dozen that were ripe and will let the seeds dry and then store them for use later this summer as green manure in other gardens...the process of salvaging what i can from the garden has begun.
