Arabian Blue barley
$4.00
(Hordeum vulgare)
Hulless 6-row. I would probably call the kernels brown, but I suppose a more imaginative person might call them blue. Awned.
250 seeds/packet.
Out of stock
Plant 1/2-2” deep, a few inches apart; preferably in rows 7-9” apart, but can also be broadcast and raked to cover. Plant in the spring as soon as soil can be worked. Harvest when seed is at ‘hard dough’ stage, dentable but not easily crushed; make into sheaves and stook to cure until fully dry and hard. Thresh and winnow; some barley varieties must be dehulled before eating, but are best planted still in their hulls; others thresh clean.
