Shabbat Shalom,
I wanted to let this group know that on Wednesday, May the 6th by necessity I harvested the rest of the wheat. I thought I had more time since the weather was so cool and rainy on Tuesday the 5th. But when I looked at the wheat on Wednesday the 6th I could see significant shattering of the wheat. So I hurriedly cut the wheat and salvaged as much as I could of the grains that had fallen to the earth.
You of course realise that the 6th was only three days past Shavuot. This means that next month there will be zero wild black wheat available for the other groups calendars. It also means if there was a location in the south with wheat where I found the barley this year that started the calendar, that wheat if it were in the south would have been ready well BEFORE the Shavuot date this year.
I’ve taken the group public because Facebook sent me a notice that my right to change the group setting from private to public would be changing in the near future. One more month and I can apply for my citizenship here in Israel and at which time I had planned to change the setting anyway.Updated May 14, 2020, 8:37 PM
