Last winter I was planning on growing Sweet Sorghum here in BC and wondered if anybody had grown it in Canada. I came across this thread as a guest and was pleased to see it could grow in Nova Scotia.
I purchased some Sugar Drip from seedman.com and planted it next to some Floriana Corn in mid May. Both the Corn and the Sorghum grew well even with the constant haze from the forest fires in BC and Washington state.
I bought a inexpensive hand crank press from Ebay and ran the stalks through the press in late Sept. All told we got 6 quarts of syrup and we use it for baking and on top of pancakes made from the corn. There were plenty of seeds left over for this year and gave some to neighbours the other day and they will have use of our press also.
I joined and posted to thank those who posted so I could learn as well as be a help to somebody else wondering if Sweet Sorghum grows in Canada.
