Notes

Planted Gazelle Rye from Bountiful Gardens to naturalize as a forage crop. Goats find it very palatable but it recovers from grazing poorly. It did however thrive right up until they went to town on it.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
