I grow tons of MG every year and have been following genes in a cross made 5 years ago. Just yesterday I got all my MG seedlings planted in the arches I made for them - I'll be growing some new stuff and am revisiting some F Generations of previous years of the the cross I mentioned above.
It occurs to me that you might think about growing some sort of squash/gourd Family 'Cucurbitaceae' there - some have amazing flowers. Call your local extension and ask them if they had any suggestions for plants that would make good forage for wildlife.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
