Christmas Wheat

The idea is that the colour, lushness and height of the wheat planted in a bowl or on a plate, will determine the prosperity of the year ahead.

This year, we were in Split in November, and I picked up some Christmas Wheat seeds in a local supermarket. On St Lucia's Day, 13th December, I planted them back home in Devon, and four days later they had sprouted on the kitchen window sill. I was so surprised, I squeaked out loud and made Dragan jump.

This morning, 24th December 2022, our wheat is over 20cm tall.

We hope this augurs well for 2023, for us - and for all of you too.

Best wishes and fingers crossed,
Penny & Dragan
