What do we know about growing oats? Nothing! Except that our local county extension agent recommended that oats would be the best way to get rid of weeds and revitalize our (former) horse pasture. So we tilled, planted and waited. I'm sure the neighbors were all laughing as they drove by and saw us seeding with walk along lawn seeders. Oh well, we have the prettiest oats on the road. They have choked out a lot of the weeds and are now turning a nice golden brown. The kids have a great time playing hide-and-seek in them and the chickens love it when we bring some home for them to eat.
