OK Bev, I think you and I should be the rice growing
guinea pigs of the list serve. Let's do it with our

Now I need to find out when to plant, what kind of rice,
and where to get the grain seed. I suppose a bag of brown
rice from the supermarket won't do, although I remember
Bill saying he planted his fava beans right from the
health food store bag.
