Sprouted seed freebies
Well, out here in Colville, Washington I just planted 9 seeds that sprouted
after a 12hr soak in water and 2 days in a damp paper towel in a
sandwich bag.
These were 3 yr old seeds I thought were probably the most unlikely to
sprout.
I never put them in a freezer, just sitting in an airtight jar in a
drawer the whole time.
So, silly me, I just grabbed a handful (18) and soaked them for the heck
of it
thinking maybe one or two would sprout. Well, they all did except for
about 4 so far.
You know, these are the seeds you usually toss out because they are thin
and you
figure they are no good and not like the big fat premium ones you might
get from
the premium suppliers.
Now what do I do with them? Anybody want some seeds already sprouted?
These are a cross of 1042 Companion and 1101 Northrup circa 2003.
They would be going great by the end of this week. It's not too late.
Hey, they are guaranteed to grow now. No doubt about that.
I would recommend overnight if anyone's willing to pay the FedEx bill.
But first class mail would still get them there by Saturday.
The seeds themselves are freebies already sprouted and going strong.
First roots are about a half inch right now on three of them.
Two have just little 1/16" points sticking out. By Saturday they would
be an inch long.
I will have to toss them if nobody speaks up. I can send them in a well
padded bubble pack
in a damp paper towel to keep them going. Just give me an address.
First 5 people
that speak up get them, one each unless someone wants more than one.
