[permaculture-oceania] Re: Upland rice seed source

[Robyn Williamson]

Hi Robert

The Seed Savers Network stocks packets of Sabra Upland Rice.

Check our website (link below) for a source in your area.  Also, PAWA 
has a seed bank near you i think, they could well have it in stock.

I'd be interested in hearing how you go, I have had seeds germinate but 
they didn't like the place where I planted them.

Best of luck,
Robyn
