Seed Keepers

["Elizabeth B." <bluebonnethillminiaturesranch@webtv.net>]

Thank you for asking about my rice experiment. It actually did pretty well! I followed those instructions to the letter and the rice actually grew, right from my raised bed without flooding like you would expect with a rice paddy. You do have to keep up with your weeding but keeping the bed saturated made weeding easy.

Then disaster struck; hurricane Ike came calling and I lost alot of my seed stock. I have some rice seeds that I managed to salvage and have since replanted. Luckily and thankfully, there are a few plants from those seeds. I'm sorry to say that I have no long grain rice seeds to share this year, compliments of Ike.

I purchased the rice seeds from Bountiful Gardens. The variety was called "Wells." If you don't see it offered on their website, email them because somebody in their local area is growing it.
