I don't think spring will produce...I always planted in fall...You can plant from seed and 4 to 6 plants is plenty for your own use...

Dang I planted some in the fall, and nothing on the stalks/heads...didn't produce. I just pulled them up yesterday for spring prep. Guess they didn't get the memo!
