Barley Seeds are the hard grains of the barley plant. They serve as seed stock, as grain for flour and as feed for birds.
Anyone who farms grain or bakes needs a steady supply. Barley is an autumn crop, sown late in the summer and into the fall. Twelve seeds grind into one portion of Flour, so a good harvest turns into bread. The seeds weigh almost nothing, so a large stock is easy to carry.
The seeds come from opening a Seed Packet - Barley or from threshing a dried barley sheaf. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
The seeds are sown in a garden plot. The plant grows for about 432 hours before harvest. That is eighteen days of game time. Each plant gives two to four at harvest.
Sowing season runs through August, September and October. September is the best month to plant. The crop does badly in June and July, so midsummer sowing is a poor choice.
The Thresh Grain recipe turns one Barley Sheaf (Dried) into Barley Seeds. That is the main way to get large amounts back from the field.
Flour is the main use for the grain. The Mill Flour recipe turns twelve seeds into one Flour at a Stone Mill. The Grind Flour recipe does the same at a Stone Quern. Wheat Seeds and Rye Seeds work in both recipes too, so the three grains can be mixed.
The seeds are also animal feed. The game marks them as seeds for birds.
Seeds can be stored in packets. The Put 5 Seeds in Packet recipe fills an Empty Seed Packet - Barley with five seeds. Opening a Seed Packet - Barley gives five seeds back.
