I have trialed several Triticum this season: T aestivum compactum cv "Rouge de la Gruyère": spring club wheat from Switzerland T aestivum cv "Tabasco" new cv short stalked and highly resistant T aestivum spelta unknow cv T monococcum cv "Engrain de Haute provence" T monococcum sinskajae www.victorvallega.com/triticum_monococcum.htm"Thirty-four F5 lines were selected and then mixed to form a bulked population released as MONOC BULK # 1 (PI 584654). The lines are all partially free-threshing (as is WIR 48993), and head about 4-5 days later than modern cvs. of durum wheat. Plants of the bulked population exhibit a greater vigour and tillering ability as well as a higher spike fertility than WIR 48993. Mean kernel weight is about 30 mg, greater than that of either parent and than most monococcum accessions. Plants are somewhat shorter than the majority of monococcum accessions. Microplot field experiments on highly fertile soils indicate that the maximum grain yield of MONOC BULK # 1 is about 3500 kg / ha. Grain texture is soft. Gluten is very weak (range of SDS sedimentation values = 13-25 mL), and this entails the need of crosses with germplasm accessions possessing a higher gluten strength."

Une variété ancienne de France? It looks like it tillers profusely mayz. . Indeed old french einkorn still cultivated and now protected by an IGP (indication géographique protégée). www.petitepeautre.com/That's the first time I grow Einkorn but I think it is know to produce tillers profusely. I've sown some khorasan wheat but so far no tillers. My wheat started to make suckers at the end of the winter

-11°C with 4 inches of snow but the thermal shock is very hard. During the first week of March: 15-16°C and the next week hard frost every days.
three plants (not two) survived and one of these favas is blossoming now
Note that my thermometer is somewhat protected against a North facing wall of the house. Thus the temperature was probably lower in the garden.

Concerning my fall sowing:
Only two favas have withstood the cold during mid March (-11°C) and I am not sure that they are going to survive
The spring sowing (1st march) germinate fair but very slowly (first sprout mid april)

threshing should be easier with "free-threshing" einkorn T. monococcum sinskajae

in Belgian cuisine too... chervil makes the best soup in my opinion : 2onions 1zucc (to thicken) and one bucket of chervil ...delicious

Are there some plants that haven't got any damage after those ten days of frost and snow mayz Spelt and wheat are perfectly healthy. Next cold spell is beginning.
