I'm pretty confident abt the quinoa crop as it's a cool climate grain. taylor nelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349667158253957406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790353721335468361.post-40614414281812471612014-02-18T04:18:06.698-08:002014-02-18T04:18:06.698-08:00Very interesting.

I would have had double that but my chickens broke into the garden when the plants were small! You definitely want a bit of space to provide for a family. I was reading about 100 sq ft is a good size for a manageable crop. (it would probably get 7 kgs of grain) For me growing the oats was an experiment, I really enjoyed the process and the stalks look almost ornamental in the garden among everything else. Learning the technique of harvesting and processing oats has given me a new respect for this commodity crop.taylor nelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349667158253957406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790353721335468361.post-31035872026430469992014-02-14T11:06:21.472-08:002014-02-14T11:06:21.472-08:00So, what weight of useable grain did you end up wi...So, what weight of useable grain did you end up with?
