Millet

What to do if the local petshop is far away and you need some millet..... Plant your own. This is from seeds I planted a few weeks ago. My 5 lovey's can't wait.

Awesome! Let us know how it goes. I’d like to do this soon as well.

Yes, keep us posted. Where are you located? I've thought of trying this, but wasn't sure if Minnesota had a long enough, hot enough season. Mid May to mid Sept is our growing season.

Interesting!
It looks like corn, which inspired me to Google it and I discovered the relationship of grass, corn, millet...

Thanks.

I live in Suriname South America. Here it's always growing season [emoji16]. I think this will grow everywhere. I grow them in buckets for now. I think I will plant it on my yard also. I grew it from seeds the lovey's spilled. Takes a few weeks here to grow from seeds to harvest.

I would say just try it. You've got nothing to loose. Just a small bucket, some soil and water!

Per USDA it starts producing seeds at 75-90 days. That about the limit for my zone unless I start plants indoors. Guess I'll keep buying mine.

Silly story?

Back in New Mexico, some seed apparently escaped from a canary's treat cup either shortly before or after we had our carpet steam cleaned. A few weeks later, we discovered an astonighing variey of sprouts emerging! Of course, we had to uproot them, but we planted some seeds indoors and it produced a delightful array of... stuff!

Wait, the sprouts emerged from your carpet? Haha! That’s fantastic. And uh I just cleaned my carpet this morning. I guess I better watch for growth!
