marthasteriasGermination! Almost exactly a week after sowing, the flax for the "1qm Lein" project is coming up.
MaruWeek 3. Weeded with a small putty knife that i sharpened on an old sharpening stone. I did kill some of the tiny flax plants i’m afraid. But the majority seem ok.

@maru she made a small series on neolithic flax processing tools and reconstructed a hackle among other things https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QBnPuzY1GUQ
Is there maybe an online #1qmlein project hub or regional group where you are?
Edit: I somehow copied the link to one of the suggested videos instead of the actual video, now hopefully linking the right one
Making a Neolithic Thorn Flax Hackle
#FiberFlaxProject #1qmlein week 2. These pictures are from yesterday, 14 days after sowing the flax seeds. I put a net over the tiny plants last week but will need to take it off again because now the weeding starts. Not many weeds yesterday but when I took a look this morning I saw that the weeds are coming up!
Jan Bretschneider#1qmlein heute ausgesät... etwas spät? Ist aber auch #Scharnhorst #südheide - also kälter als anderswo.
Dividing the flax seeds in 20 hopefully somewhat equal portions to sow 2 sq. meters

Prepared the soil (2 sq meters) for the flax. I prepared another bed before but this one is in a sunnier spot. Very unlike me: I dug the soul 2 spades deep. As we say. I think it was necessary because there were a lot of weed roots deep down (field bindweed). Hope I got rid of it. Now my back aches but I’m happily stretched out on the sofa #oyeah
