Tall wheat
« on: August 14, 2010, 17:47:26 »
Does anybody know where to get some 'old-type' wheat or barley seeds to grow?
For start with I would like to get some long straw stalks,,,and feed the left over seeds (someone is feeling optimistic ::)) for chickens and and wild birds and maybe if I run out for something to do I may even try to do some flour ::) ::) ::)..yes maybe.. ;D
But is the straw that I'm really after..
