Thank you! That's great to know about the forage oats. I've been looking at sprouting for the chickens, but I'm wondering if it is too hot here in FL? All the guides I see recommend the temps not exceed around 75F, and my house sits at 81...
Do your chickens still eat the red even though it grows tall? I have some kind of weed in my yard that they think is candy, and they don't seem to mind that it's several inches taller than they are, silly girls.
My garden was a bust this year. I'm old and with no help I've not been able to do much other than hire someone to get my coop predator proof. One step at a time. I have a ton of seeds, just no labor to build the garden. Next year. First I've got to make a run. Can't let them roam, too many raccoon and pitt bulls from down the road. But I'm getting a lot accomplished. This fall I'll set the garden up with cover crops and fence it. Then maybe the chickens can get some scratching in.
