Pulled at the end of the reaping as flax, more of it on wet land, and woven into linen.
Where it is sown
Section titled “Where it is sown”The share of a field’s sowings that are flax, by the land it lies in:
| Land | Sown as | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Lowlands | Spring corn | 10% |
| Wet ground | Spring corn | 30% |
| Cold ground | Spring corn | 12% |
| Warm ground | Spring corn | 17% |
Winter corn is sown in autumn and spring corn in spring; a three-field village grows both, a two-field village only the winter corn.
The lands are:
- Lowlands: temperate forest and other mild lowland.
- Wet ground: temperate rain forest and marsh.
- Cold ground: taiga, tundra and snow.
- Warm ground: savanna and jungle.
How it looks
Section titled “How it looks”Slender, with pale blue flowers on top in summer, ripening a brownish gold. It stands about 0.75 m full grown, comes up green in spring, ripens through summer, and once cut stands as stubble with sheaves in stooks.
The year in the fields is on Harvest.
