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 by not easily crushed; make into sheaves and stook to cure until fully dry and hard. Thresh and winnow; einkorn must also be dehulled before eating, but is best planted still in its hulls.
To use straw for weaving, harvest when topmost joint in stem is still a little green.
