 Friends         | Lover of good books and good company. Gardener, educator, closet singer, love to cook for everybody. A great night is cooking for my wonderful partner and friends, listening to some blues or jazz, with tons of laughter thrown in.

You should search out and pull out those mustard weeds, with their bright yellow flowers, as soon as you notice them. Then you'd probably only lose a few wheat plants that were right next to the mustard weeds. Don't listen to farm advisors who tell you that you should spray your whole wheat field with a broadleaf herbicide before the wheat goes to boot stage, because the mustard will still grow, although low to the ground in a snakey way, and produce more mustard seed, and still inhibit the surrounding wheat growth, and some of the wheat will likely already be in the boot stage, in which case the herbicide will be taken into the wheat, as evidenced by the curl the herbicide gives some of the wheat heads. I write from experience. But I agree that we should not judge others as to their spiritual worthiness.  But mustard, Brassica tuneforte combats nematodes and is a good rotational crop. Just be careful not to sow Monsanto's Round up Ready GMO cultivar, as it must be pulled by hand . This GMO is also referred to as rape or canola. Sadly this GMO with small grain <2.0mm is small enough to be wind dispersed into surrounding pristine country where it has little or no opposition and becomes rampant. So it is when man plays god with seed stock |
