I've actually got two dishpans of greens seeded and waiting for the seeds to germinate for the chickens.  I'm late.  I also have Strawberry Clover planted in my lawn and they love it.  I planted Kale in the fall and they promptly ate it and plan on planting it again.  In fact, I might go to HD today to get starter pots so I can get some more seeds started.
