Not sure if I am qualified to recommend anything on a tiny scale. There is some perennial rye available, but am not sure how much use that would be.
Good Luck

The other week was the first time I have been in East Anglia and we plan to go back again. I live in Telford in Shropshire.

I have not yet thought about exactly which cereals I may try. Space is VERY limited so it would only be a tiny patch. I was going to give it some thought over the winter. I am more interested in perennials generally and that would be my preference. I was reading a while ago about the differences between cereals regarding the processing of grains as I would ideally want to grow something that was relatively easy to deal with.

Thanks for your offer of help.

Anni

I was reading your blog recently, and wondered why you hadn’t drifted up this way on your trip to North Norfolk:-) Another time perhaps. Where in the country are you, and what are you thinking of trying cereal wise?
Are you looking to try some of the perennial cereals, or some sort of Fukuoka/BonFils configuration?
If there is anything that I can do to help, let me know. Deano

I have been reading about your polycultures – fascinating. I too grow polycultures, mainly of perennial veggies, but I am planning to branch out into a bit of cereal experimenting next year.

My blog is at http://annisveggies.wordpress.com/ if you would like to see what I am getting up to.

Best wishes

Anni Kelsey
