i just planted some carrot seeds so that my girls can have carrot tops which I can't find in Greece.

I also want to order some grass seeds on line - does anyone know the best grass to order?

Thanks

I would think that Rye grass is the hardiest of the grasses for growing. After that, and if you can get hold of some, a Ley mixture would be great (contains Rye, Timothy, Clover etc)

Depends on where you are growing it though - outside is obviously preferable, keep well watered and cut - the more you cut when it's warm, the more it will grow for you, providing you keep it well watered and in the sunshine morning and evening - avoid the midday sun as the soil will dry out too quickly. Use a well draining light soil for preference, not the peat based planter material.

Rye should be available all over the world - not sure about ley but worth trying the farmers websites - only thing is you may have to order a fields worth

Good luck your piggies will love it - and you for growing it for them

I was going to try and grow some in a pot on the decking as i have so many 'wild' animals around here at the moment, spring time we have all the birds and then the fox comes back :{
