Higgins Changed their Millet - see b4 ordering

[1CuteTiel]

Ordered 5lb box of spray millet from Higgins in FL and was so unhappy when I opened the box - I spent $30 for the millet and especially the shipping to get premium millet and what I got I could have gotten at the local pet-mart. When I called them they acted as though nothing had changed with their millet and as long as it wasn't spoiled I should be happy with it. Very disappointed and angry!!!! If the millet changed that much they should tell me when I ordered or when I called them offer a refund. I have ordered millet from them for over 4 years now and it has always been good - this is such a shock!!!! Here is a picture of it: The new millet is on the top (yuk) and the millet spray on the bottom is what they used to send.

The drought might have a effect on the quality of millet. I'd try growing my own.

How do you grow millet in fla and how big does it grow

uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh, you don't say. Well, I think we should all get together and go over to where they are located and stone them or give them thirty lashes with a cat o nine tails.

you could grow it in a flower pot if you wanted. We plant a couple of different types in the cow pastures for doves in dove season. Gets a little water it grows quick, sprouts quick also. I'd guess it makes seed heads in about 6-8wks.

I actually like the smaller compact millet and my birds seem to like better than the larger millet sprays.
