trystinn | Fodder System - Introducing Barley

This week we cleaned all the bins, then reset them with freshly soaked seed - Black Oil Sunflower Seed and Red Barley. I'm very excited about the Red Barley, as we've not sprouted Barley previously and we're not sure how long Barley will take to reach 4 inches. Its a lovely color and if it wasn't currently being pressed to simulate the weight of soil, I'd show pictures here. This morning, when we pulled out the soaking seed, even the water was red!

Barley is traditionally a Spring crop, but with sprouting it doesn't matter what the regular harvest date is. I'm very curious to see what the sprouts taste like!
