Art, In her book, Wilma Valletta advocated from here many robin gleanings
that putting the stalk tip fo the pod in a potato would continue to
furnish nutrients and allow the seed to develop.  I tried it on a fall pod
once that I had to cut and bring in because of freezing temps when I was
down in Tennessee.  It worked and the seed germinated normally!  Give it a
shot!
