Here's a picture for anyone interested in Sesame. This is 49 days after planting, and it had only one rain. I'm very surprised that it looks as good as it does. I have read that sesame is very drought resistant, so that idea is definitely being tested. One of the things I wondered about was how well the sesame would shade the ground and block out the weeds once it was up and growing. It seems to be doing that very well. There is a little johnsongrass in it, but I don't think it will reduce the yield a lot.

The Egyptian wheat is still getting taller and hasn't produced any seed heads. The dove magnet mix that has several different types of millet has already produced a lot of seed. I just need it to rain. My uncle's field continues to get rain and looks much better.
