teosinte III

we have more teosinte on the way! the usda in ames iowa will be sending us a small ammount of Zea diploperenis and we will have a bash at growing some. i am inclined to try it both indoors and out doors, although i think indoors is probably the better bet for a perennial that's a sub-tropical. surely anything we grow outside will not survive the winter, and i'd really like to see if we can produce some seeds..i doubt my luck at finding this germplast ( doesn't that sound educated?) for free ( well 2/3 of it so far) is going to hold up forever. at any rate it is exciting to ponder the possibilities for the spring.
