Northern Sea Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium) |

DND's All Seeds Swap #9 (2022) - mmolyson - Butterfly host, deer resistant, seeds for birds, native, 2022 Attractive, bamboo-like foliage and dangling, flat flower spikes create a showy accent around water features. Foliage turns coppery in fall, brown in winter. You need to consider the invasive nature of the plant, which grows from rhizomes and seeds readily. The self-sowing nature can cause numerous seedlings and make the grass a nuisance.

Rice (Oryza sativa) |
Have Fruits & Vegetables Grains |
From MIG - 2022 This large grain rice is easy to grow and doesn't need a rice paddy to grow. The plants will grow as long as they are kept damp and well-watered. Once the rice forms seed pods they can be knocked into a bowl, threshed to separate the seed from chaff, and then winnowed to refine just the seeds which are what you will identify as the same long grain rice you find in the stores. |
