Thank you Barb!😊 And to answer your question, yes, I would think so.

Try germinating them first in spot pots. I find they do much better that way. Because they’re grass, it couldn’t be easier transplanting them. Wait until they’re at least a few inches or several cm tall.

@@WillowsGreenPermaculture Thank you!! I will do that!

You’re welcome. 😊

Thank you Beth for sharing your comment and for watching! It’s a pleasure!

Williams Sorghum. It is also a syrup sorghum. So you can get molasses from it as well.

Yes im concerned about low humidity because I’m in high desert Grand Canyon area…do you know if humidity is a big issue? I can water well but no greenhouse yet…

@@WillowsGreenPermaculture any feedback be great!!😎

@ Sorghum is known to be a grain that is very drought tolerant. I’m wondering if the non syrup varieties might do better. I know our Williams Syrup sorghum is very drought tolerant, but so is the broomcorn sorghum. The broomcorn gives an even bigger abundance of grain as well. But it’s not a syrup variety. It might be better therefore for an arid climate. I would suggest you try both a syrup and non syrup variety as an experiment.

@@ridingvenus it’s a pleasure!

Thank you MojaveBohemian! Your gardens sound beautiful! I know a little bit about arid and mountainous terrain because I once lived on a hillside in Oaxaca, Mexico. My favourite plants to grow there were many types of copales (bursera), many types of agaves, and then other trees like pochote, guamuchil, jacaloxuchil, palo verde, and many whose names I’ve forgotten, but will come back. Maybe I’ll do a video in winter with the photos I have.

The best profession! Thank you!

How do you use potatoes as a science lesson?

¡Es un placer!

You’re welcome Cindy! 😊

That would be fantastic! I’m sure you’ll enjoy growing it!

Thank you Phennex! That would be a great video to do. I think we’ll do one.

@@WillowsGreenPermaculture You guys are awesome 😁 I look forward to the video!

@@Phennex thank you! 😊

You’re welcome! 😊

Thank you for that precision! 😊

I think you’re right! It looks just like it!

Have a look at the research pages I showed in my video on cooking with sorghum on Nov. 22 . I’m adding the link here: th-cam.com/video/v-aDVQAZhLM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-pUZIPTNvHIqcTcz These are examples of recent research. They seem to have different conclusions with respect to sorghum’s health benefits. I can tell you it tastes delicious. And I am looking into the possibility of using nixtamalization with it for different purposes.

The tannins you refer to in sorghum have been shown to be powerful antioxidants and have cancer prevention properties. The cultures in which sorghum is prevalent have a wide variety of preparation methods, including dishing and fermenting. Sorghum is not eaten raw. There is a great deal of research available to the public on Google Scholar.

@@WillowsGreenPermaculture Yes, yes, tannins contribute to cardiovascular health. . . But food shouldn't be medicine, and tannins are bitter, that's a fact. You have to believe in the choice of the public and the market. Sorghum has been withdrawn from the human staple food market for a long time. It is not delicious, difficult to digest, and even ugly. After the sorghum flour is cooked, it is not attractive white or yellow, but black. Yes, we can improve its taste and texture through hybrid improvement and breeding, but this requires costs and requires a research department willing to do it. ps: I don’t recommend that you eat sorghum or sorghum products frequently, be careful of constipation.

@@vermouthstone9446 @ thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. I appreciate it, especially your concern for public health. The market has very different motivational factors involved in its choice of what to mass produce and what not, including ease of mechanization and a great deal other factors which I will not get into. Public health has not been a major factor in the market’s role in choosing food sources unfortunately. As far as colour is concerned, that is very irrelevant to health. Many of the healthiest foods worldwide are not necessarily the prettiest. However sorghum has quite beautiful colours when cooked and is delicious and very appetizing. I have been eating sorghum as a staple in my diet for three years now, and have never been constipated. Sorghum is the grain of choice for a large proportion of the world’s population. Finally, professional nutritionists will disagree with your statement about food and medicine… In fact the best foods for you act as the best medicines, building up not only your body, but also strengthening your immune system.

Thank you!

You’re welcome MohaveBohemian!

Glad you like it! 😊

That’s really cool! Thank you

And thank you for watching!

You can say that again! 😊

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes indeed! And the health of the plant itself! 😊

That’s fantastic Daniela! I’m glad I was able to motivate you to try it! 😊

Thank you Time Paradox! From Canada!

Thank you Grandmom Zoo!

Thank you Dawn! Welcome to Willows Green Permaculture!

It’s a great pleasure Debbie! I’m glad you’re going to try growing it! You’re going to love it!

Thank you @mojavebohemian! How’s Arizona!

You’re welcome MB814!

And thank you for checking out all our videos systematically! 😊

Thank you 😊

Thank you David! You know, I really enjoy your videos. I am one of your subscribers in case you didn’t know. I appreciate very much your attitude to learning and experimentation. I would love to do a collaboration with you at some point if that interests you. I’ve never done one before.

Thank you!

Thank you! 😊 It’s a pleasure!

I hope you find some sprouts! Now at this point in the year, the leaves may have fallen. Here, they’ve all fallen.

That’s right! 😊

You never know. Some might get covered by leaves, others might get buried by squirrels, others might get dragged into the soil by an earthworm. You may just get some sprouts. You’ll notice them suddenly when they’re a couple of years old. 😊

Thank you very much! And thanks for watching! 😊

Thank you for your comment. So they eat the fruit and plant the trees for you? 😊

I don’t understand your comment. Permaculture is a big picture idea. Check out some of my other videos and playlists to get a better idea.

Thank you! 😊 There are lots of pawpaw forums on FB. I’m sure you’ll be able to find some local growers.

That’s great. Good luck with your pawpaws! You’re not too far from us. We’re outside of Stirling.
