Yeah, I don't think they will grow fast enough to be able to harvest in the spring (or early summer).

You can, sorta, get spring sprouts if the plants are allowed to winter over. When we lived in Michigan they would get buried in snow and they loved that--I'd go out in January and hack through the snow until I found a plant to harvest.

Here in Missouri, the plants live through the winter, unless we get low single digits temps that kill the plants. This year they came through with flying colors. I harvested a bunch today, as a matter of fact.
