Growing grain may seem a bit out of reach for home gardeners and even medium scale growers in our cold climate, but with the right soil preparation, techniques and tools, even a twenty-by-fifty-foot garden plot can grow grain if you select the right varieties of wheat, oats, millet and other grains, that we usually buy in the form of meal or flour.

    Better soil will give you better growth, but quinoa is fairly hardy, so try it and let us know how it goes. A bit of online research will give you more information about what quinoa needs for growing conditions.
