Richard, we have grown the Early, White and Purple Viennas and did as you, multiple sowings for a continuing supply. Last year grew the SuperSchmeltz and I think that's the way to go - even large they were not woody (although I did find it more difficult to peel them) and I still have 3 of the last ones harvested out in the almost-freezing unheated garage (it is currently -28C...). They are putting out nice fresh green leaves (which are quite edible). Will be planting one of them out next spring to see if/how to get some seeds.
By the way, think I like them raw best of all.
