Sunday or Monday I will be harvesting some barley here in the village that has achieved ‘worm-stage’…Zadok scale speak, I call it soft dough.
I hope to harvest several stages of barley this year to ‘prove’ what stage(s) will cure and how long the barley will remain harvestable without dropping seeds because of sickle violence.
Each step of the way the information will be published here.
It’s interesting that because of Covid-19 the clean-up crew that would have normally cut all of this wild barley in the village for the year are on minimal duty….it looks like the barley will be here for a while longer this year. Usually the empty lots/fields are all mown before rabbinical Pesach. This year they’ve only mowed a strip between the fields and the roadwayUpdated Apr 3, 2020, 6:27 PM
