Re: HYB: TB my experiences with germination

Thanks for the detailed description, Steve. Sounds like you started experimenting for the same reason I did - 3 seeds out of 80 is exciting the first time, but annoying if it happens the second time!
Just to make sure I understand this part - the seeds are completely underwater in their baggies? So much for suffocation worries! 

Or do you mean there is just enough water to make sure they don't dry out?
I agree - too many other variables re: genetic mix, antecedent conditions while pod & seeds are maturing, & some variability in moisture/temperature even in the fridge to get 100% consistent results from year to year.
<I, myself, prefer using ziplock or plastic baggies with either freshly shelled 
seeds or dried seeds just covered
 with water.>
