closing day

five years after its inception and four years since kathy's untimely death this garden is finished...i'm done...consider this the last official portrait.

gleaning

the zea diploperennis has done well for a sub tropical grass transplanted to northwest indiana...babied through three winters it has come to the end of the road ( top photo )...so i took it out...there will be some support root photos but its days on campus are done...i took a spading fork to the potato patch ( second photo ) and found a few stray tubers ( third photo )...what was a stand of eastern gamagrass in august ( fourth photo ) has become the mulch in the fifth photo...i saved some of the intermediate wheat grass i got from the land institute...it will be living in my yard.
