DA GARDEN!

Here's the season's first Hopi blue corn, harvested from the big stalk in the middle of the garden last week.
After fearful initial analysis, the seed looks quite viable maturity-wise, with some lovely purple colorings.



The rest of the garden, pictured here as of about two weeks ago, continues to thrive.



It's a rather riotous mess, with an odd pepper plant from the landlord getting ready to produce, a couple Thai Siam Queen basil plants peeking through the squashes, a transplanted pea plant from my niece's class project, and the like.



Organic yellow crookneck squashes are quite a hit, with several small fruits coming visible this week, and one or two about ready to harvest!



Happy September harvests!
