Our very first grain harvest

I almost forgot to blog about me harvesting our tiny scale grain production :) This spring I have got a few handfuls of heirloom seeds: wheat, oat and barley
I planted it all in May and now in August I harvested all 3. Of course I make sure they are dry before harvesting.

These plants have grown very well and didn't get any disease. I still dont have enough for a serious production but will have in two years I hope. I will be using the grain for my chickens and ducks as well as sheep if they want to eat them in the winter.
