2025 Crop

• 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.

• May 12th Finished weeding both beds, one done a couple of weeks ago.
  

  

• June 14th Looks like I may have been lucky in choice of seeds and have the 'bald' wheat which is easier to de-husk
  

  

• August 13thMajor 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 :(

2023

15th August Seems it was hairy, but only cropped 100g. Managed to find one head of bald so will keep that 20th April I have a small amount of one type not sure if it's the hairy or bold type. I also noticed a single plant that must be from last year, maybe a seed from autumn ? I'm also making my first loaf of 50/50 wheat and maize.
