It's been a little over a month since the wheat fields turned a deep green, creating a beautiful landscape.

The wheat stalks are flowering earlier than usual. The harvest season is just beginning.

When the grains, neatly lined up vertically on the ears of wheat, become plump and full, we can expect a good harvest of high-quality wheat. This year, there was little rainfall in the spring, so things are looking very good.

But here's the thing. When the wheat grows well, the weeds that live in the field also grow well. It's just the way of nature, so there's nothing you can do about it.

As you can see in the photo, the chamomile flowers are already in full bloom, covering the wheat fields in pure white. At this point, there's nothing we can do; we're helpless.

In some other fields, the wheat harvest was abandoned and the crop was cut green before the chamomile flowers even bloomed.

Not just chamomile, but also chickweed, galaria, shepherd's purse, grasses, and many other weeds.

In some areas, the area becomes covered with several types of vines.

In about a month, the wheat fields will turn a beautiful golden color, as is the season known as "wheat harvest," and it will be time for the harvest.

The real challenge begins before then!

I watch over it every day, anxiously hoping it won't be defeated by the weeds that grow so incredibly fast!
