it's june, and while the winter rye has( top photo )been out in seed heads since last month it had a head start...others are catching up...the intermediate wheat grass right next door for example...the plants from kansas are irrupting in seeds and will produce minscule flowers soon and then ripening seeds ( which were ravaged by starlings last year...there will be an attempt at bagging them this year if i can find suitable supplies )...the bright red blooms of the dixie clover have died back ( third photo ) and will be producing what i hope is viable seed soon...i have good use to put that to...finally in the last photo the eastern gamagrass has come out in its first terminal spear and seed head in what i hope is another extravagant display of reproductive frenzy...i have some use for that seed as well and i will need quite a bit since it is so stubborn about germinating...the reproductive theme of the garden continues...there will be more posts to come.
