Today, I harvested my wheat. After 5 months of growing wheat in a planter on my balcony, it was time to harvest.
I didn’t need one of those big combines, since there really wasn’t that much wheat. Now that it’s harvested, photos and selfies taken with my wheat. It is time to let the soil rest.
I compared my amateur grown wheat with professionally grown wheat and found it was still smaller than than what was harvested from a real farm. I used a lot of fertilizer on my wheat, so my partial shade balcony isn’t as ideal as fields which receive full sun.
I’m pretty happy that I successfully grew wheat and have a deeper appreciation for our farmers and all the hard work they do to provide us with food. #FarmingIsHard
