;D I just threw a bunch of millet seeds from the store bought millet, and look at what I got! They looked like weeds to begin with and grew fast! I started another pot last week & it's already growing! We stopped mowing the grass under the outside feeders to see what comes up for the outside birds. They 'Love it' Alice Click to enlarge

That's interesting! So they actually grow into the sprigs we buy in the store? Almost seems a crime to purchase the stuff.

Looking up millet seed, I forgot where I think the kind we buy in the store comes from millet trees that they also use to grind into a flour for humans to consume. From what I remember, it was a hot and very dry country, so what I got was smaller seeds that are light in color. The seed I let grow under the back deck is a lot larger, but it's more food the the wild birds. I just took a pic. have to load it, than put in photo bucket.
