HYB: germination!

Hooray - the unshelled seed experiment wasn't a flop after all!  IMM X
TREASURED seedlings are coming up.    It may have just been too warm
outdoors at first or they needed another month or who knows what.
Planted them outdoors in pots in mid September after two months in the
fridge.

The main batch of unshelled seeds have been in the fridge for three
months now.  Will let everybody know if/when they start to germinate.

Keeping my fingers crossed that the IMM X TREASURED cross isn't an
exception - sure is a <lot> less trouble to stick pod and all in a
baggie in the fridge without shelling, drying, soaking, wrapping in
soggy paper towels, then refrigerating.
