backyard barley - starting to dry out

Thought i'd post some pictures from my little backyard barley experiment. This first two pics were taken July 1st. At that point lots of the seed heads had developed, and just as many were chopped off thanks to the local wildlife. While we were gone on vacation, a rabbit (i'm guessing) appeared to decide this was a good place to hide out. A big section right in the middle was matted down, so I put up the fence. Since then some more seed heads have shown up and have started to dry out (bottom picture).
