And through the blog I'm learning so much more about other places. I look forward to seeing what you discover when you do get in the car and drive north. You will do it one day, after all it only took us 16 years to do the train ride.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-40946782558576865862009-11-22T09:58:13.225+11:002009-11-22T09:58:13.225+11:00I feel like I'm walking right into that field....I feel like I'm walking right into that field.

We also have winter wheat that needs frost to do whatever wheat does to grow, but it is harvested in late summer too.Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771625000856319335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-19083299318102510772009-11-22T08:06:06.526+11:002009-11-22T08:06:06.526+11:00When I opened this I thought surely there won'...When I opened this I thought surely there won't be a difference here ... but there is ... the seasons start on the 1st of the month in Australia (something to do with the tilt of world's axis) so Summer starts on the 1st of December. Harvesting certainly runs into Summer.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-84127005981208773422009-11-22T07:25:24.411+11:002009-11-22T07:25:24.411+11:00*bdg* the wheat looks exactly like in Europe, ;-) ...*bdg* the wheat looks exactly like in Europe, ;-) - only we harvest at the end of summer and not in spring.Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771625000856319335noreply@blogger.com
