Typically wheat is more tolerant than barley, and barley is more tolerant than oat to fall frost. In the milk stage, temperatures below 0°C will impact yield and cause kernels to become light and shriveled. Frozen immature spikelets will also turn white. In the early dough stage, research has shown cereal crop yields will be affected once temperatures hit -6°C for at least one hour; seed germination is also reduced. Once again, kernels will be shriveled. Cereal plants in the mid to late dough stages will sustain less damage than plants exposed at the early dough stage.

Relatively expensive, nyjer seeds should be offered in feeders with very small holes to reduce spillage and waste. If nyjer seeds are offered in a tube feeder with the feeding holes below the perches – feeders commonly known as goldfinch feeders – they will be particularly attractive to goldfinches, which evolved feeding while hanging upside down from flowerheads gone to seed as on thistle plants.

Emily von Euw‘s Berry Fruit Tarts With Chia Seeds are all fruit and the crust is nut-free, made from only dried dates, raisins and figs. The filling is banana cream and obviously the topping is simply sliced strawberries and kiwi. There is chia in the banana cream because chia is a rock star. These are absolutely bursting with color, flavor, and life. Go ahead and use whatever fresh fruits you have, and top these off with little goodies like cacao, goji berries, or coconut flakes.

The diva part? "White and purple hydrangeas, pink & white roses, peonies– ABSOLUTELY NO CARNATIONS," The Smoking Gun reports. Yes, it actually came in caps. Other demands included a coffee table in “perspex modern style" and a refrigerator with a glass door.
