For the first time we grew wheat, flax and quinoa at the Vancouver Compost Demonstration Garden. The wheat varieties are Red Fife, Marquis, Kamut and Blue Tinge Ethiopian. Golden Flax is the flax variety and the quinoa was bought in bulk from a local grocery store.

  • @brightneighborTV hey whats a pancake patch, could you help me out? like homemade pancakes?? i would love any info you can give me, thanks! sounds awesome!

  • i started brightest brilliant a few weeks ago! which kind was that, it looked tall. thought it was amaranth. why didnt you guys grow amaranth. it should produce more grain than all the rest. isnt it the best grain available? i have mercado, burgundy, and the grain i got from sprouts going. i should start recording too

  • The quinoa where you talk about looks to me the well known goosefoot or lambs quarter weed or plant. BTW How do you harvest the quinoa?

  • if you google "Flax seed hull lignans" they are an incredible health/power food. Flax is soooo easy to grow- eat the hull in it's total. nice vid, thanks!

  • "It is He who has sent water down from the sky to let all kinds of plants grow; the vegetables with accumulated grains; palm-trees from which appear clusters of dates within easy reach; vineyards, olive groves, and pomegranates of all types. See the fruits when they are growing and when they are ripe. This, too, is evidence (of the existence of Allah) for those who believe"

    (Noble Qur'aan)

  • why I haven't been able to find books to read about grains. My local book stores have nothing.

  • Just a few corrections for interest sake. The spikes are called Beards. Also, Marquis was Canada's first wheat developed soley in Canada. It is NOT the most popular wheat grown on the prairies. It was in the early part of the 20th century, but now it is a rare breed of wheat. 2009 marks the 100th anniversary of Marquis Wheat. Great job on the video!

  • We are growing a pancake patch : )
