To direct sow, in mild climates, sow in either early spring or late fall to germinate and form deep roots for a long spring bloom. In cold winter areas, Sow seed as early in the spring as soil can be worked. Space seeds 1-2 inches apart in well drained soil in full sun or partial shade in hot areas.

Let customers speak for us
I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
