Just wondering if anyone has tried to grow there own millet before? If so how did it turn out?

I throw the discard seed into spare pots and some garden beds, cover with some soil and let it do its own thing. Pretty soon I have some great seeding greens for the birds and they just love it. Too easy and no real mystery. It uses up the throwaway seed that birds inevitably leave behind in their dishes.

thats exactly what I was thinking about that and it got me onto the millet... On the topic of greens do you wait for the plant to produce seeds again or do you just give them the greens from the plant??

I pick it when the seed heads form but still green. There is always discard seed to keep it going again.

I have accidentally grown it ..LOL by throwing the seed out on to the lawn ( was a garden area at the old house) It grew about 15 - 25 cm tall with a massive green millet on the top of it

did your birds like it??? did you dry it out or give it to them freshly brocken off?
