Linseed

Having thought the harvest was over except for the maize, I had completely forgotten about the Linseed that had been struggling away with the encroaching weeds!  A member of the Flax family, the crop is not very tall and extremely tough and wiry to harvest, sometimes getting tangled in the bed of the combine.  I have not yet asked T what it yielded.  It will be sold to make oil which is used in many products such a furniture oil, soap, and the seeds can also be eaten mixed with other foodstuffs.
