Notes

Umbrella sorghum, a cane variety, planted for recovering seed & providing hay for goats. Stunted by poor soil and drought but produced nice fat grain heads. Goats escaped pasture and ate late grain heads. Saved enough seed to plant this year for grain for goats.

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.
