Invasion of Wheat

I was quite in despair about the state of growth of my boxes and then as I left, I passed by the infernal petunia boxes, where I had planted the first batch of wheat last monday-  LOOK!  my wheat has come up as weeds!  I am thrilled to note that seeds CAN grow here (perhaps only monocultures).

My new participant/collaborator in this escapelot will be known as “able gardener 1“. There will be another voice, another plotter, another denizen of this space.

Plan B

It’s late for planting wheat and I’m feeling the pressure of bad weather, but after reading a bit more about wheat I thought I might have a chance, even though planting in the “gristley bits” of nature on the borderline of possibility sounds more like “futile” than “possible”.  How can anything grow here, except my own irritation? I planted the tree container I was given after the dreaded petunia invasion of last week. Construction and destruction continue a dusty regime of infiltration. Not to mention the squirrels.
