I direct seeded my beds last year, about mid March and then again mid April. I harvested the first round in September and then again in October. I direct seeded again this year with the seeds that I had collected. I have a whopping NINE plants growing. With any luck, I'll be harvesting the seeds this September.

I didn't see last years' rice coming back but this may be because I let the goats have at it. I planted amaranth and corn in the former rice bed this year.

Your cold weather is why I'm staying down here on the Gulf Coast of Texas. Hoping your Alpine Rice grows well for you.

"Ike" was helpful; he atleast took down a couple of trees I'ld been meaning to. Unfortunately, the list of non-helpful is much longer than the helpful.

I'll give Jim a call, think that's his name, at Bountiful Gardens and see if he wants to grow out some of the seeds I collect this year. It's kind of scary being the only known person who has any "Wells!"
