some of the hard red winter wheat seed i ordered came in this week so after i finished putting the green manures in the center of the sweet corn/potato bed i took a handful of the seeds and started a small stand of wheat on each end of the bed...the can act as a reservoir for the nitrogen the rhizobia set ...or we can let them go on and mature...not a really practical amount of wheat as far as food production goes...but it could be ornamental and symbolic...make that decision when the time comes...but i am notorious for letting things be once they become established.
Organic rather than transgenetic. Labor instead of chemicals. Diversity in place of monoculture.

About Me
- fred
- an ex- industrial worker ( the continued automation of jobs, condensing of ownership, plant closings, trade wars, and degradation of living standards here has rendered me a former industrial worker...now just part-time lumpen proletariat) and university student (everyone needs a hobby...my hobbies have evolved and, to keep things straight, i have left my formal student career behind for reasons that are too detailed to delve into here...continuing to be a student of life however and not adverse to learning...stasis is death ) sliding down the back side of middle age...a social loner with collectivist leanings...explain that.
