Okay, so some folks have HUGE wheat fields…  ours is 8 x 8… not acres but feet!  haha! I always wanted to try to grow wheat… I just love the look of it… those beautiful little golden heads.  I might just end up decorating with it, but still.. we’ll see what happens!

I ordered some good North Dakota spring wheat online…  3 pounds was the littlest amount you could order!  I gave some to Miss Earline to plant too… and we’re going to plant it…  I already started a cup of it to see how it looks and all!

Here is my current wheat field!

Jessy and Maggie are getting very good at making raised beds now!  I just get to watch as they are getting very good at drilling and all that good teamwork to get it done in nothing flat!  We didn’t make it that high, just enough so that the mowing guys wouldn’t mistake it as grass and cut down the wheat!

Almost finished…..

We’re hoping that we will use up most of the dirt in the parking spot today or tomorrow…. well, tomorrow since it’s like midnight and no one wants to tote more dirt in the dark…   It’s still a pretty good pile, but we do want to really fill up this bed to the tippy top.  Wheat’s a pretty good digger and I’m sure it will dig down into the lower dirt area and all pretty quick.    Should be fun… we’ll keep you all updated as it goes on….
