I’m the only one who eats them here, and one plant usually produces way more than enough for me. I usually end up giving a lot of them away. This year I have two.

It’s weird but one year the only place I could find them was the Handy-man hardware store. Never have seen them in the big-box places like Lowe’s. Maybe your local place would have them? Or could get them if you ask? I’ve never tried growing them from seed.
