Ok so my last attempt didn't go well but I ended up with slightly more barley than when I started.
My wife said I should dig up part of the yard to try again and not have to worry about clearing out bed space for other crops. So, last years barley is now resting in the ground and should hopefully sprout soon. I plan to cover this barley if we are going to get a hard freeze to prevent the frost kill I had last winter. Hopefully I'll end up with 2-3lbs from a 6'x10' bed where 5oz was planted.
This area may be at a slight disadvantage with worse soil and more winter shade. Godspeed little seeds.
