Grains, Seeds & Oil Crops Growing Guides
Grains, seeds, and oil crops can add variety to a home garden and introduce gardeners to crops that are grown for mature seed rather than the tender vegetables typically harvested during the season. Their growing requirements and harvest methods can vary considerably from one crop to another.
The growing guides below are focused on helping gardeners learn how to grow the individual grain, seed, and oil crops listed here. Use the guides to explore planting, site and soil requirements, spacing, watering, crop care, maturity, harvesting, and other considerations involved in bringing these crops to harvest. They are intended to make less familiar crops easier to understand and try in the garden.
