Millet seed for planting is readily available and cheap. Why buy the stalks and save the seed? Al

I've grown millet from seed. I found it very easy to grow.

Just wanted to kids to have an enjoyable easy experiment/project to see it grow & feed the birds. :)

Millet would be an excellent project for kids.

I'm a kid sometimes. I got a package of Cockatiel food mixed seed, planted them and got perhaps a dozen different plants, two or there mustards, a couple of sunflowers, perhaps six grasses and something I later decided might have been buckwheat. Next time I feel like being a child I will save the label from the package and attempt to identify all the plants with the help of Google image search. Wildflow seed mix is much more fun with Google image search.
