Wheat!

There was wheat in the fields surrounding my parents house, and I had just spoken with a couple who had dried their own wheat for their wedding to use for the groomsmen's boutonnieres! And so I decided that we should cut a few bunches and dry them to see how they turn out at different pick times. So we picked three bundles and they are drying in my parents basement - and then we will hopefully be able to pick another bundle or so more near harvest time, to see which bundles look the best when dried. This way next year we will know when to pick/dry the wheat so that we can use it in the centre pieces/bouquets etc. (As wheat being more of a 'novelty' in the florist world would probably be expensive!) - So thank to unlce Brian (who at this point is still unaware that we stole a little bit of wheat from his field)!
