I guess “maize” is technically corn. Last year, I ordered
a type of ancient wheat (einkorn) that is better for us
than the new hybrids. I grind the wheat in a manual handmill
that we mounted on a cabinet; just enough at a time to make
pancakes. It’s not for the lazy or the infirm; but the
pancakes are really good with butter and real maple syrup.
Fang is a good organic gardener at my insistence. He used
to plant a half acre of garden that I could not say grace
to either weeding or picking or processing. Now, he plants
a small one with things we either eat right away or freeze
in very limited amounts. - Varieties of lettuces are the
best that we plant as salads are always good in the early
spring. We don’t fool with iceberg, rather raise Greenleaf
varieties. Tomatoes. Our fruit trees come and go. One year,
we get one thing, the next another. Strawberries, grapes,
blackberries (though I don’t care as much for tame ones as
the seeds are bigger than I like, but oh well.) This way,
it’s not overwhelming & it helps on the grocery bill.
