[Jacob-list] ryegrass

[Mary Hansson]

Linda,

I saw mention of the turnip on the premier1 site along with other seed
they sell.  I have thrown out turnip seed here and fed it to the
sheep.....they have loved it.  You see mention of it in English books
quite often, but that climate is significantly different than ours!

Interesting that Neal sees the perennial rye grass won't survive in our
climate.  My neighbor was very adamant that I not seed with the
perennial rye grass because the roots go down so far and the stuff is
impossible to get out once it gets just a small start.  She had an area
where she evidently kept a cow many years ago, and the greenery in there
is definitely hearty.  Makes me wonder if it truly is rye or a different
grass.  I have personally lusted after that little plot of ground.....
:o)

Some of the first hay I got back in the summer of 1994 was lespedeza.
Sheep ate it with gusto---left the broom straw that was in it, but sure
ate the other goodie.

Sue-=--you have sure come up with some good topics lately!
