Its next to a road so I don't want to give the road hunters any help. Something that will grow in the cool season. I can plant grass or millet in the spring. This is just for erosion. It's a small spot, say 30'x40'. What ya'll got?

I was thinking more a few cedars at the edge of the road then you can plant whatever in the open area. Cedars would block the view of road hunters

Got some in my yard that has to be cut later in fall/winter and pops up in cooler weather I hate the extra grass cutting, but it does look good. If you was closer by I would let you have some not sure it is good, but still have about 30 pounds of seed left.
