We missed some big storms last weekend and only got hit hard once. It's been dry for 3 days and garden should be looking good. Garden is holding up surprisingly well, got lots of work to do though.

Random pics!:

Blue Podded Capucinjers Pea. Soup pea with nice looking flowers and unique colored pods)

Golden Sweet Pea. Fresh/soup pea with yellow pods (more yellow than looks in the pic).

Left to right: Hulless Oats, Awnless Barley, Glenn Spring Wheat, and Winter Rye. Montana Winter Wheat just out of the pic, which the deer got. And yes, weeds.

Je.rusalem Artichokes.

Bumblebee on some sweet clover.

Honeybee hanging off an alfalfa flower.

A black-winged, blue bodies dragonfly which I've never seen around here before.

Glorious garden.

Where do you get your grains (wheat, oats, barley, etc)? I’ve never tried growing them, but since I am experimenting with heirloom corn this year for the first time, I might as well try them sometime in the future as well.
