Can I plant the organic barley seed this spring for harvest later?

Follow the almanac as to when to plant. I do small alternating trays for juicing.

The literature that comes with the seeds states you can harvest the seeds to grow again next season (if this is what you mean by heirloom) and the company is on the Safe Seed List. However, I collected a few seeds but have not tried yet to plant these "offspring". I would not recommend using peat pellets, just regular seed starting soil mix. I am in zone 9-10 and had better luck with seeds germinating outdoors.

I have bought organic seeds. Have to tell you that here in Mexico City I have not have much luck growing them.Bron

You can cook and eat this barley, however, you may not enjoy it because it is unhulled. I would suggest buying hulled barley, where the seed hull has been removed (think about eating sunflower seeds with the shell still on, versus without it). If you want to grind this unhulled barley into flour, it would be fine for that. But for the sake of eating, I would definitely go for hulled barley. Enjoy!

i would say late may or early june at the latest. i live in zone 5, so you have to plan on what you will plant in it.

i have not received my seed yet , apparently it got lost but the shipper is re-sending it to me. in the caribbean here we just plant in the soil , but for other countries with snow you have to refridgerate for at least 2 - 4 weeks before planting.

Richard did anyone ever get back to you on this? I am also looking to grow my own barley for the same purpose. Can you post your supplier?

I'm sure you can find some domestic, organic seeds somewhere if you're that concerned about it.

I bought the seeds but they are not mature enough to bear as yet. I will have to wait at lease a month before they are even close to producing perrpers. Sorry.

I had great results planting this product in the middle of March but I'm in Central Oregon so not sure of best planting date in Texas.

you have enough seed to do both. use about a fourth of the seed each time. this gives you the opportunity to plant several times

May could be late depending on where you are. It should be applied before other non wanted seeds germinate. I try to get it done in early April in the northwest and then again in the fall.

I used it on a lawn. Since it is only castor oil, I would suspect harvest could be soon.

Depends on where you live. I live in Ky and I can get it to grow spring and fall

I usuallly seed in the fall, but did it in early April this year. The grass started to come up in about 14 days and looks great.

I would plant first of spring- after no more chance of frost, can start them growing inside your home as pre prepping,, they are going to be beautiful and smell wonderful!!

Each time you start a new tray. I use the organic dirt from the old crop for my compost pile. Other uses I'd suggest such as house plants which need bigger pots or perhaps one of your outdoor flower beds as it is thankfully springtime now. As you do your last cutting for the juicer just go ahead and soak another jar of seeds for the next crop.
