I will be helping you with one of those goals. Hopefully the landrace grain corn seeds I got from Joseph Lofthouse are still good. I’ll try to remember to send some along. Got a bunch of random seeds together for you last night. Try to include some other stuff as well. Grew the corn the season before last and did pretty ok but didn’t get any planted last year. Figure they are still good.
The Florida plant selling license is pretty easy to get. Idk if the inspector will travel into Alabama to approve you or not but maybe they’d have too if you intend to do markets in Florida or you’d have to sign whatever agreements from your state into Florida. I figure your inspector will be Austin Hayes as it is for me. He does the whole panhandle area I think. Not a major hard ass but he’ll be on the lookout for invasive dioscorea for sure. He allows me to grow them near my nursery area but always checks to make sure I’m not selling potted plants of them. He didn’t know alata was edible until I told him I grow it as a food crop. There’s a huge one right next to my nursery area. He is very liberal and gay I believe but otherwise not a horrible guy to me at least. No slant toward liberals or gays but just for information purposes. All adults can do whatever they see fit so long as they harm no others in their processes. My other nursery buddy does have issues with him though. Just a heads up in case you have to deal with him.
