Farmers
Crops that Egyptians grew were wheat, barly, vegetables, figs, melons, pomegranates and vines. They took the flax that they grew and turned it into linen which was used for towels and clothes. The most important crop to the Egyptians was grains because grain was used for the bread, porridge and beer.Grain was very important to them because it was the first crop they grew once flooding season ended. Once all grain was being harvest they decided to start growing other crops like onions, leeks, cabbages, beans, cucumber and lettuce. In Egypt it became very hot so they grew fruit trees and vines so they could gather some shade. All the Egyptians grew their crops/plants along the River Nile because it was the best soil for their crops to grow in. The River Nile was made up of fertile soil which was why it was very could for their crops to grow in. Egyptians separated the year into three seasons because of river Niles flooding.
The first season was
Aket (flooding season) was during June-September. At this time of year there were to be no farming cause by the flooding. Instead they got to do other jobs such as working for the pharaoh, building temples/pyramids, working on tools or looking after the animals.
Peret (growing season) went through October-Februrary. This was their time to grow crops or plants so that when it came time for the last season they could harvest.
Shemu (harvesting season) took place from March-May. It was their time to harvest all their crops and taken away from the River Nile to prepare for flooding season. In need of preparing for flooding season they needed to build a proper canel.
Farmers used simple tools which were winnowing, scoops, hoes, rakes, flink bladed, sickles and ploughs
