HN comment orderFor those in Europe, I've had good success growing seeds ordered from the Kokopelli association, which has been doing this for 20 years. The trick is to find varieties adapted to the local climate, for example ancient varieties from your region no longer commercialized. http://kokopelli-semences.fr/
If you're interested in this sort of stuff, I would also highly recommend checking out the Experimental Farm Network.[0] They do cool crowd-sourced projects like breeding a cold hardy avocado or domesticating new plants [0] https://experimentalfarmnetwork.org/
