OK, I can do that. I don’t know why I was envisioning acres and acres and acres of wheat :-) I only have 13 acres of pasture and I’m certainly not going to be seeding all of that.
I like the idea of growing rye, that’s one of my favorite grains. And it’s not as easy to find the rye berries.
It’s a beautiful day here today. IEast Tennessee winters certainly aren’t boring. It. can go from 17 one day two in the high 50s a couple days later. Thinking about grabbing my clippers and trying to figure out how to trim the orchard trees and the blueberries. I’m a novice at this really don’t know what I’m doing. Thank goodness for the Internet!
I just plant 100 sq ft. in some sort of winter grain in my raised beds. I plant about 50 sq ft. in garlic for the winter. The other 50 sq. ft. I plant in cover crop/soil improvement. And each is rotated during the fall planting. I only have a total of around 200 sq. ft. Hubby has over 1000 sq. ft. in terraced and raised beds.
It takes about 10 sq ft. for a loaf of bread. About 500 sq. ft will allow you to bake a loaf each week. I like the fact that we are growing something in the “off season”, when the garden would not be producing anything anyway.

How to make kombucha
Kombucha is an ancient drink that’s recently enjoyed a revival because it’s a fizzy and healthy alternative to soda pop. Despite urban myths, it contains only trace amounts of alcohol — unless you let it ferment for a very long time. Kombucha is easy to make, too, once you get going.
