Barley – The "Homestead Staple" for Hearty Soups, Fresh Flour, and Easy-Process Grains
Shop the highest quality Hulless Barley seeds and enjoy a grain that is ready for the kitchen without the heavy machinery. When it comes to home-grown nutrition, Hulless Barley is the "Kitchen Shortcut." Unlike traditional barley, this variety has a "loose" hull that falls off naturally during harvest, making it the premier choice for home gardeners. At The Seed Guy, we believe we aren't just selling seeds; we are planting a connection to our ancestors, the golden beauty of a homegrown harvest waving in the wind, and the security of a self-sufficient pantry.
In the garden, Barley is an "Old Reliable" that provides a beautiful, swaying golden crop in a relatively short season. This variety is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to "get your soup on"—offering a chewy, nutty grain that is the backbone of the classic beef and barley stew. It is a fantastic companion plant for clover, which can be grown underneath to provide nitrogen to the soil. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination, ensuring you get strong, upright stalks that deliver a "County Fair Quality" harvest for your family's table.

Barley Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Barley can be planted in very early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. It enjoys the cool weather of the early season.
2. Preparation: Select a location with full sun and well-draining soil. It doesn't need heavy fertilization, but a clear, weed-free seedbed is essential.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1 inch deep. For a "field" look, you can broadcast the seeds and lightly rake them into the soil.
4. Care: Barley is a low-maintenance crop. Keep the area weeded until the barley is about 6 inches tall; after that, it will shade out most competition.
5. Pests and Diseases: Birds are the biggest fans of ripening grain. Harvest when the heads are golden and the kernels are "rock hard" when bitten.
Hordeum vulgare
