Technology is a blessing and sometimes a huge frustration for me. After months of not being able to post photos with this blog (and bearing false witness against google!), I have discovered that it was actually Internet Explorer that was being difficult. So I downloaded a new browser and am excited that I can now seamlessly add in photos to my blog posts again. Forgive if I am a bit "posty" for the next weeks :)
I am thankful that I can plant winter wheat here! In fact, the winters do not seem to be a time of "cold and dead" but rather "cool and still busy"!
HEADY with our dried corn success of the past summer, we have decided to plant winter wheat in a test plot. I had ordered a ton of awesome seed from Canada but received only an empty envelope with a note from customs. I contacted the person I had ordered the wheat from and he said he had never had trouble, but refunded my money.
I did manage to get some wheat from Baker Creek (which we love anyway), plus some local wheat at our neighborhood feed and seed (which is what we used for our test plot). I am saving the "good" wheat until spring planting.

The Wheat
Update 29 December: We looked, STRAINED, to see the wheat and thought we might, possibly, not sure, but might have some sprouts. Or the grass and weeds are just growing. Stay tuned :)
I look forward to seeing how your wheat growing goes! You are right, technology can be a blessing and a curse. FYI, if you get the bug to blog like crazy, you can write several posts at a time, but schedule them to go out on different days, taking advantage of that creative spell :) Also - you should look into the Rocket City Bloggers - we are planning lots of workshops (FREE!) for 2015. Our first one is in January. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am still trying to figure out some of the tech aspects of blogging and saving them for multiple days. I might need to go to those workshops!
