there seems to be something of a production variable at work in the pgp...not to be outdone by the spuds in the community garden the red pontiacs in the pgp are blooming...as sure sign that they will be setting tubers soon...the chinese yams are producing robust vines and plenty of leaves...which is an indication of many aerial bulbs to come...no surprise since they were unharvested last season and have abundant stored energy to draw on...the perennial teosinte is another matter...in its fourth season the older stand has produced one lonely sprout ( which looks very corny, even small )...the stand i planted last year that tried to flower in october seems to have expended its energy in flowering rather than root construction which left it it with too shallow a system to withstand last winter..it appears to be lifeless and is being overgrown by intermediate wheat grass...the last photo is of doomed asparagus seedlings...nice to look at... no future.
