........ok elephant in the room I'll say it. If you're serious you're going the wrong way around it.
Nobody is going to really say anything, or if at all it would be a hoax.
You have to meet people through your community, you don''t just go and find a telephone book of growers .
Having someone know you know they grow, is like walking around all day with a hook in your back.
The "grower" (of any decent intellect) will never tell anyone they grow. You may come across someone who HAS grown before and willing to give advice, but people arn't just going to tell you straight up. And you can mail those seedlings to me if you want.
Take care.

and I have a 2 week old seedling to give away if anyone would like it....Thanks.
