Waxing Gibbous Corn Moon<\/p>\n
The punk hairdos of our Country Gentlemen corn now resemble pubic hair, albiet a dark purple.\u00a0 Sex and the country gentlemen.\u00a0 Though I’ve seen corn grown all my life, I’ve never done it myself.\u00a0 The simple, elegant sexuality of these green giants intrigues me.\u00a0 The tassel pops out of the top, spreads its stamens.\u00a0 The developing ears–seed pods–push out this delicate female part, the silk, to receive the pollen which falls down as wind rustles the tassel.\u00a0 Each seed on the ear has a silk that runs straight to it.\u00a0 A gravity based system.\u00a0 One of the tiny miracles in a garden of major miracles.<\/p>\n
There is nothing on the planet so miraculous as the photosynthetic driven production of carbohydrates.\u00a0 Without this marvel the food chain has no beginning link.\u00a0 No beginning link, no chain at all.\u00a0 It would not be out of place to stop by a plant tonight or tomorrow, put your hands together, bow a bit and say Namaste.\u00a0 A gracias, too, perhaps.<\/p>\n
Kate’s home.\u00a0 She had fun with the grandkids.\u00a0 She’s really become a grandma and a good one.\u00a0 A pleasure to see.\u00a0 She cooked tonight.\u00a0 Spaghetti squash, tomato cucumber and onion salad, fish.\u00a0 All but the fish from our place.<\/p>\n
This evening I plucked bubils from the leaf junctions of three of my lilium.\u00a0 After dipping them in some root\u00a0 hormone, I took a pair of pick-ups and slotted them into soil pellets.\u00a0 The pellets went into small plastic six packs.\u00a0 The whole went out to the garden to receive water and sun.\u00a0 After they’ve grown a bit, I’ll transplant them to the second tier bed down by the patio.\u00a0 I’ve never tried propagating lilies this way before, but it was common in the 19th century according to my lily culture book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
