Sorghum for Sugar Cane swap

I thought I grew sugar cane this past summer, but came to find out I was sold red sorghum and not true sugar cane seeds. I was highly disappointed. Everything grew so well after direct sowing and no inputs either (beside water). I live in central Arizona, we get all four seasons, but summers are very long and hot. I imagine this sorghum could take off nearly anywhere as it’s G1 life was extreme.

If anyone is looking for sorghum and has true sugar cane seeds to swap, I’d be so happy to do so. Any recommendations on where I can get my hands on true sugar cane seeds from a legitimate source, I’ll still give you my seeds!

If it makes you feel better, I did the same thing. Thought I bought “sugar cane seeds” and was excited because it’s unusual (like true potato seeds or true sweet potatoes). I ended up with just normal sorghum. I guess on a positive note, the chickens were happy.

Yup, I figured I wasn’t the only one lol. Also thought if anywhere, goingtoseed people would have some legit back yard growers to source true seed. If I get my hands on any, I’ll let you know :slight_smile:
