Two weeks later: Wheat

It was on October 1 that Farmer Jeremy filled the grain drill with wheat seed and planted it in one of the fields along Wooden’s Lane. Now, two weeks later, the results are evident. The wheat is two to three inches tall and a vibrant green. Germination appears to be very good. Judging from the rows, it also looks like Farmer Jeremy drove the horses in relatively straight lines.

Now the wheat will grow over the fall and winter (slowing down a great deal in the winter) before shooting up again in the spring, until it is finally ready to be harvested next summer.
