They can't be too dry - so leave it if you aren't sure. But put a bucket under the bunches in case the berries fall free

Well I finally got a mo to strip the very well dried bere, rub them together until the arns came off and when a stiff breeze came along winnow them. I managed to get one pound and half a ounce of good seed which is now hanging from a beam in the shed in a linen bag I made a while back.

Sorry got mixed up with the time units in Farscape ...

having a a big rethink and next year we'll integrate the AS crops like the white carrots in the herb garden out front which I keep AR level weeded and depested and turn over the back to just cereals beans and peas and a kale patch. And then rotate them each year after.

Alan at Buster is sending me some of their strain of spelt and ancient bread wheat, I forget the exact type for us to plant up this winter
