If you're interested in growing grain in your garden, a good book on the subject is "Homegrown Whole Grains" by Sara Pitzer (Storey Publishing, 2009, $14.95).
As Pitzer notes, in a 10-foot-square plot, backyard farmers can grow enough wheat to harvest 50 pounds in a single afternoon—and that can be baked into 50 loaves of fresh bread.
