For winter wheat, sow seeds in the fall. Alternatively, you can sow them in early spring for a warmer harvest. For a full cycle harvest, it will take four months for the wheat to finish ripening. Remember, planting times can vary depending on your location. Sow the seeds about an inch deep. Provide enough space to allow the plants to develop strong roots. Wheat prefers spacing of about 6 to 8 inches between plants for ample growth and good air circulation.
