8 | S Oat (strigosa / sativa - unsure) | Ceirch du Bach (2 separate accessions planted together - O0327, O0765) | M | JIC seedbank | Modern / 'improved' variety | 40-60 seeds | £24.00 | 30th March | Hand | Ceirch-du-bach' meaning 'Small Black Oat' in Welsh was once a widely grown landrace in Welsh upland areas. Confusingly the term 'black oat' is interchangeably applied to both A. strigosa and A. sativa. This accession is recorded by the JIC as being strigosa but need to check this. The Welsh Plant Breeding Station produced the pure-line selection S.79 in the 1930s, and the seed we are growing is probably this 'improved' material. | |||||||||||||||||||||
9 | S Oat (strigosa) | Cerich Llywd Bach (3 separate accessions planted together - O0326, O1972, O2080) | M | JIC seedbank | Modern / 'improved' variety | 60-90 seeds | 30th March | Hand | Ceirch Llwyd' means 'Grey Oat' in Welsh and is likely a C20th name for Avena strigosa, once grown on poorer upland soils in Wales. In the 1930s a breeding programme for A. strigosa was initiated by the Welsh Plant Breeding Station (now IBERS), and a pure-line selection of A strigosa (Ceirch Llywd S.75) was made, which eventually replaced most or all of the landrace Ceirch Llwyd previously cultivated. The accession held by the JIC is almost certainly this. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

18 | S Oat (strigosa) | Pied de Manche | S | INRA France | Unsure if improved | 20-30 seeds | 18th April | Hand | A mispelling of 'Pied de Mouche' (fly's foot) - An old French name of A. strigosa (presumably describing the shape of its awns). May have undergone breeding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | S Oat (sativa, naked) | Avoine Nue Rennes (large naked oat) | B | Harriet (via JIC) | Modern / 'improved' variety | not calculated | £0 | 1st and 7th April | 1 strip | Hand | Spikelets stripped off then threshed using Harriet's adapted handmill (pushed naked seeds out of papery husk) | Crop originates in China / Mongolia where it is still traditionally cultivated - often made into noodles. Inner Mongolia even hosts an annual naked oat noodle festival! It's a naked type of Avena sativa (common oat) and as such is 'hexaplid' (it has 6 sets of chromosomes). 'Avoine nue Rennes' is a variety presumably coming from Rennes or nearby in Brittany. The seeds were sent to Harriet's grandad and his wife in the late 80s by the Welsh Plant Breeding Station who mistook them for pillas. | |||||||||||||||||||
20 | S Oat (strigosa, naked) | Small naked oat (x 21 accessions) | S+B | Harriet (via JIC) | Presumed traditional cultivars / landraces | Various (details) | £0 | 29th-30th March. Two rows outside tunnels transplanted 20th April | 1 120cm strips | Hand | Same as above | The small naked oat appears to have been widely cultivated in medieval Britain, with records from England (particularly northwest), Wales and Ireland. It was also found in France - mostly the north. Historical sources describe its small yet high quality grain, which fetched the same price as wheat. In Cornwall - which remained a stronghold until the mid 1800s - it was fed to pigs, cattle and poultry; eaten as porridge (known as 'gerty-milk'); and its fine pliable straw was woven into bonnets. It thrived on marginal soils, growing where no other crop was expected to grow, and was often planted at the end of a crop roation on 'exhausted soil'. In Cornish it was known as "pillas", while elsewhere in the British Isles it was "pilcorn", and in Brittany "pilat". | |||||||||||||||||||
