| SORGHUM
(Sorghum bicolor) 150 seeds per packet. Originally from Africa, which explains this plant’s preference for heat, and tolerance of drought. Sow in place, one half inch deep, in spring after conditions are warm. Rich soil with ample moisture suits the plant best. Allow 4-6 inch spacing in all directions. In autumn, before frost takes the plants, the canes can be cut in sections, stripped of their leaves, and pressed of their green juice which is then boiled down into syrup.
