Re: What's that Slimy Stuff..."


The slime coating on the seed serves the same purpose as the slime coat on
a fish.  Its waterproofing.  Most seeds have it.
Interesting... BTW, this is how I determine if a seed
is really dry or not. Once this slime coating dries up
and flakes off, I call it "dry".
