I have let a lot of crops grow this year, that I normally wouldn't, mainly so that I can experience them; and currently have a crop of White Millet, self-seeded by way of the birds, that is growing only in builders sand.
Millet is an annual grass, with stems of around 4 feet tall. It has large flat leaves, with hairy sheaths and two flowered spikelets. The seedheads grow in bunches and produce a small starchy grain, which due to its lack of gluten, is sold as an alternative to people who are wheat intolerant. Most often it is used in birdseed and sometimes cultivated for fodder.
