... and have an open back yard, so I would never get away with growing it.

Here's my little story: When I was young I had a nice apartment with a large bay window in front. Having a green thumb, I like to grow avocado plants from the pits. I had one that really did good and I set it very near the front window by a chair. It must have caught this cop's eye when he walked by, because he came and knocked at my door, asking if he could take a look at the plant by the window. So I said surely, come on in. He walked over by it and looked and pondered and said "What is this???" I almost laughed in his face. As a matter of fact, I think I did chuckle. Then I explained what it was. I hadn't thought of this incident in years until I seen this picture.

Your description of how to plant the seeds in the fall reminds me of planting Texas blue-bonnets (an absolutely beautiful little delicate flower, the State flower of Texas.) Wow! You can tell the sex when they first come up? You're like one of my sons who can tell the sex of a kitten early on.

Really, you should think about moving to CO.
With your expertise, you should be able to get a job in the growing industry!
