Anyone ever grown rice at home? I had good results growing a little bit in a plastic tub last year and stepped up to a mini paddy in a low part of the garden where water always collects this year. It's pretty fun and comfy because you can practically watch it develop day to day.
Threshing and processing it to eat is a pain in the ass with hand tools though, but I might invest in a little dehulling machine if I grow more next year. This is a red variety called Akamuro I found from a seed seller in the US and the threshing sticks I made. I'm hoping I can find a place that sells a black variety for next year.
