Baart Wheat trial in my back yard
I bought this Baart, because we have a climate here in Southern California similar to that in South Africa. I planted four twenty five foot long rows two months ago before the rains. The wheat sprouted quickly and is now over a foot tall. They look quite healthy. Only problem is the gophers find the plants tasty.
