RE: millet

Kathy,
Ah! a green-er-purple topic!I'm planning on starting some of the AAS
winner, too.  I hadn't thought about containers. I thought something like
that would have big or extensive roots, even for an annual. But it sounds
like a great idea.  I believe it needs full sun.

I was thinking about including it in a bed with several Purple Fountain
Grass and all filled in with coleus Alabama Sunset.  Kind of my own little
volcano bed of red/purple erupting out of a mass of chartreuse and
red/purple.

I don't do a lot of flower arranging, so I couldn't answer to that.  No
experience with okra unless you count the gumbo disaster I made years ago.

Kitty
