Will you be ready to reap what you sowed?

How large is the area you planted? And what are you planning to make with it?

For beer you might also want to plant some hops.

Sounds great. But don't underestimate hops too. It's an herbal medicine. You can just brew it into tea for instance if you're having a hard time going to sleep.

That's badass! I went to help harvest wheat at a communal plot nearby, and it was so fun to use the sickle. Hard work, but overall such a wonderful experience. What variety/cultivar is your wheat, if you know?
