That grew to over 6 feet! It was fun to watch grow, the flower/seed pods are neat, very drappy. I dried them in the sunroom and they have been fun food for the chickens all winter. You can dry them and harvest the grains yourself, but mine never made it mature enough for the grains to be larger then a pin head, so not worth it. But, they were pretty and an adventure to grow and useful as chicken food, so I say if you've got some space, give them a go! ~VonniePeacemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429236966962797521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743489061168063955.post-11733897169468751662013-03-01T09:20:51.945-05:002013-03-01T09:20:51.945-05:00In answer to your comment about the young Jersey, ...In answer to your comment about the young Jersey, yes, Jerseys are different. Bonnie's calf is half-Jersey and I don't worry about her, but full-blooded Jerseys come in heat ridiculously early. I once had a neighbor's bull breed a six-month-old heifer and had the vet come and abort her Donna.
