At my location, I'm *damn* lucky to get any matured. I may try again with
some protection and an earlier start, but they're not really right for my
hilltop.

But the other points are good; why grow the mass-market varieties that you
can buy at the store (or in my case, at the many truck farms down the
valley a few miles) for cheap, when you can grow stuff that doesn't ship
well, has strange colors, or doesn't yield bushels and bushels. My friends
think I'm weird. I'm OK with that.
