...and who is

what is being watered is mostly annuals but there is one exception to the deep-rooted perennials in there too...there are potatoes ( a plant/replant perennial that behaves like an annual but isn't )and mashua ( annual ) in the top photo who are receiving a ration ...the native edibles purslane ( second photo ) and lamb's quarters ( third photo ) are being watered as well as possible too...i have made the zea diploperennis a special case perennial since i am still geeked by it and will preserve it as long as possible this season...there's a tomato plant that i didn't photograph today that's being nurtured as well...so it and the potatoes are the only really productive domesticates receiving any irrigart

teosinte and friends

what's left of the mighty stand of perennial teosinte is doing well and showing through its morphology that it is indeed an ancestor of maize...it couldn't look cornier if it tried...it has company in the form of the native edible purslane and there's a bit of doomed asparagus that has popped up close by as well...on the whole the last season is rolling along...still lots to do and see before autumn...where to move these plants? home is my thought.
