Title: Bird seed veg.
Post by: grannyjanny on May 14, 2011, 07:49:07
Does anyone know what type of brassica seedlings can appear in bird seed. I have some healthy looking ones under the feeder. Now I know why we buy the no grow mix ::).

Certainly is.  We used to give birdseed rape sproutings to our chooks when we had them and there are cultivars grown specifically for forage.
