Notes

Planted for goat and bee forage. Did very well and flowered mightily until it got grazed. Very palatable to goats and not resilient enough to survive the experience.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
