You could purchase this set link (I have one in my to do pile) or see if you can replicate (shouldn't be too difficult).

Have a great day!

Hi

Or you could be lazy like me and use artificial turf samples as fully grown rice paddies

What I noticed about rice paddies when I was in Japan was that the edges of the fields were very, very overgrown.

Rice itself (at least in late July 2012) was a very bright green, the edges of the fields were dark green.

Thank you. The location is northern China, in October. Would this be "out of season?"

Lion in the Stars13 Mar 2019 2:52 p.m. PST

Should be out of season:

In the North China plains, the rice season is from May/June to August/September.

In the Yangtze River Valley, rice is planted from April to June and harvested from August to October. In south-eastern China, the early (March to July) and late (June to November) rice crops are bountiful. In most parts of Yunan, the rice season is generally long, from March to September.
