Now Bill, don't get your bowels in an uproar, I meant absolutely no 
disrespect.  Here is my point, everyone says it can't be done but no one has 
tried it except I guess Mark and Doug Lohman.  With having observed seeds 
sprouting in the pod one would have to assume that it is a possibility to 
plant thirty day old seeds and have them germinate, or would they be 
sprouting in the pod?  Hey, I don't know, haven't tried germinating thirty 
day old seeds my self but may give it a try.  Maybe some of us should do that 
so we just don't have to take Mark's word for it.  N.
