We're not becoming farmers, but I was given a barley seed a few months back. I planted it in the pot and lo and behold, there it is growing well just in front of the brewery office. The variety is Flagon, which is a good for malting and is one of the varieties we use in our beer. As of today, it has 7 ears full of seeds so I'm hoping for a good harvest. I'll keep you posted on the continued growth...Slàinte, Ken
Hops are more rewarding. And the quantities to be useful are much smaller than for barley.

Quite right, Max, Hops are next on the my gardener's growing list! Just need to find a rhizome happy with my garden pot...
