    It's an interesting planting, I'll suggest sow it indoor after Mothers Day. But soak the seeds after got some sprouts first.

    have you grown rice before?

    what species for our climate is best and where do i find them?

    for the soil should i mix half clay and half topsoil?

    you say i should sprout them first indoors.........do i sprout the seed as i would with other seeds?

    i really appreciate your reply

    i am searching the internet but have not found answers to these questions yet

    thanks again
