Allotments 4 All

Anyone growing this or grown it before. Its putting out seed heads, which are a bit squashed on the poly tunnel roof. I'm not sure if they will pollinate properly as it is late in the season.   Just wondered if it does get to a harvestable state, is possible on a garden scale to extract some juice for syrup?

My thoughts were, cutting the stems into manageable lengths and then whacking it with a rolling pin!

Sorry to say,

But there is no Rum to be made in your house from this plant. :(

Oh yes there is.

I'm growing sorghum for the first time as well and have the same problem as to how to extract the juice on a small scale. May just opt for the seeds and go into the broom business.
