when i saw and photographed these structures last week ( top photo ) i said they were on a potato plant...then i began second guessing myself and thinking they had to be nascent tomatoes since there is a tomato plant just to the right of where i found these...so today i traced the plant back to the roots and this IS a potato plant...potatoes and tomatoes ate from the same family and so my best surmise is that these are seed cases and the idea of producing potato seed has me geeked...more as this progresses...the second photo is of a northern tepehuan teosinte plant that has emerged from the shadows of the asparagus and the third shows it is blooming...more pollen for cross fertilizing the plants there and at home...the last photo is of some autumn asparagus spears that have erupted...the asparagus really did well here and it is unfortunate it is done after this season...i bought new garden shears today in preparation for the ultimate end of the season/garden...that will be sooner than later.
