four weeks ago ( top photo ) the gamagrass was upright and most of the seed was green..today ( second photo ) the leaves, spears , and seed heads are lowered to the ground and most of the seed heads are shattered ( even though there are still green seeds out there..the immature seed heads are the ones closest to an upright position ) scattering seed as far away as possible form the parent plants...the third photo is of n early blue potato plant that had been flowering on my last trip out..when i looked on the underside i found what looks like seed pods ( i have been working with jerusalem artichoke seeds at home trying to see if they are actually viable or vestigial and so seeds have been on my mind...i was discussing wild potatoes that i have grown from seed and wondered aloud if domesticated potatoes produced seed [which it seemed they should even if they were not viable either ] which is why i looked in the first place 0 i cannot find anything in the way of an image of a domesticated potato seed pod...yet...i will continue looking and i will refrain from harvesting these spuds until these seed pods ( or whatever 0 ripen.
