I'm only growing the wheat for ground cover over winter to help the soil by providing something organic in the sand. I'll till it in next spring, before it actually makes wheat berries. I have plenty of wheat berries.

I'm only growing the wheat in the area I opened up for my tobacco next year.

But yes, wheat grows in Texas. Texas grows quite a lot of it.

I had to stop growing Oats for a cover crop as it can grow up the 3 feet in our mild wet climate and then fall over and make it difficult to chop up with the weed trimmer in the spring. I tried common vetch last year and liked it so bought another 15# at the feed store yesterday. We are having early rains this year plus my old age are going to make it difficult to get all the beds prepared plus get the garlic planted. I have 3 compost piles cooking but they need some stable bedding to reactivate them so that is another project.
