I was planning to try one or two plants of all five or six varieties I can find seeds for. We are fortunate, as we have a bit over 20 acres to use. A large part of it is farmed chemically (modern corn & soybeans) and we get paid such a pittance, we have a deal with the tenant that we can use as much as we want (our LLC owns it anyway!).

Then, if we have any luck with them, we will let you know.

One thing we might need is a walk-in cooler. We do have a large attached garage, well-insulated, and in the seven years since we built this house, even at 10 to 20 degrees below zero, which only happens once in awhile, for a few days at a time, the garage did not freeze, so we can try keeping them in the garage "cooler" I guess.
