Cereals
at the Mill |
| The display in the wheat cage planned
for 2025 was to be similar to the Common Cereals display
detailed below. Having got the trays of seedlings established,
they were placed into two cold frames in the wheat cage for
growing before transplanting the plants into the cage.
Unfortunately a mouse found them and decided they were for Xmas.
We have started again and hope there will be a display later. |
