Wheat

2025 Crop

Planning to sow Oct 1st


2025 Crop

May 22nd Very slightly better than my August 13th 2024 assessment I may have 230g :) and saved some ears to sow.
  • 28th October 2024 I may sow a few this autumn
  • 30th October 2024 Sown just over 4.5 in short rows (1.5m) across a longer 3.2m bed so as to be easier to weed between the rows. No idea of the variety.

2024

  • 28th January Roughed out some 4 east of the relocated greenhouse.
  • 1st February Tidied and ready to sow
  • 10th February Soaked wheat from 2020 but don't know if it's bald or bearded.
  • 12th February Four 8 foot rows were sown
  • 13th February Remaining 2020 wheat sown in four more 8 foot rows.
8th March: Concerned about pheasant eating the young shoots
28th April: Two beds: | Maize in the background
  • May 12th Finished weeding both beds, one done a couple of weeks ago.
    May 12th
  • June 14th Looks like I may have been lucky in choice of seeds and have the 'bald' wheat which is easier to de-husk
    June 14th
  • August 13th Major screw up. Two days ago I stared to harvest but decided to leave it until Tuesday but by then mice had eaten at maybe 96%. So whereas I thought I may get a couple of kilos I doubt I'll get 100g :(
