Some years back, I got notion to try sowing wheat and oats on the vacant land by the bike trail. I didn't know better and just flung it on the ground. Well, I never saw any crop. That was partially due to me sowing it so late that it didn't rain much afterwardI decided to try it again. This time I researched it and it's supposed to be planted maybe 2 inches deep.

It was hard to till the soil since my best tool was this simple garden thing. It ought to get enough rain this timeHere's pictures:
