For the past several years, someone has been plowing and planting this small parcel that was once planted in vines. Each summer, the plants flourish. Then, in the fall, they're harvested. I have no idea what they are. I see no signs of potatoes or any other vegetable or fruit. Could it be for the leaves? And now, just this past week, this odd-looking alignment of wooden posts showed up on the far end. Climbing stakes? Another agricultural mystery.
Old vines on the right, mystery plants on the left.
The other end of this parcel, where the stakes are, stops at a paved road. Perhaps I'll take a detour over there one morning and see what I can see. And maybe I'll take a closer-up photo of the plants.
Walt, your picture of the vine yesterday.... that plant is showing signs of lack of nutrients.... I am wondering if all the rain has leached the nutrients to a lower level than the plant's roots can reach.... or, if it is just the one, the roots might be being attacked by something....
ReplyDeletePot farm? Opium? Nah, you’d recognize the flowers.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a photo of the mystery plant.
ReplyDeleteOooh, a mystery!
