Amazingly I found a spare moment to process the wheat that’s been hanging, drying on a clothes line outside my house for a month or so.  I used some rubber gloves to rub the stalks (an improvised threshing method) to loosen the grain.  I then had to separate the grain from the chaff and to do this I used an electric fan.  Whinnowing is something I’ve always wanted to try.  A satifying process.  I’ll be planting this wheat and then hopefully next year I can make some flour.
