Yes. That way I get maximum out of my garden for veggies, and still get some wheat to use. I also rotate my crops. Once every 3-4 years, I plant one or two beds in hairyvetch, rye, and/or clover to turn under in spring to refurbish the soil.
sounds like a great plan!
i’ll I have to look for rye seeds. I didn’t realize it was good for the soil.
i “try” to rotate but it can get so complicated! it’s not for someone with OCD tendencies, lol. It never fails that after I’m done figuring out what was there the year before, what goes now, then I end up putting two crops together that don’t like each other. Then I have to start all over!
Now I just try to do a reasonable job and leave it at that.
