teosinte outside the box

i am unsure of how much teosinte sees of snow and sub-zero temperatures in its native range but it is up to its branches in it here...there are quite a few more opened and shattered seed ears today than there were last time i checked...lots of scattered seeds and they are surely getting the dormancy breaking cold they need...as long as it isn't seed killing cold...and as long as the seeds had a long enough season to mature and be viable we may get some spring shoots...i continue to collect seeds form the indoor plants and will be test germinating some of those next year ( next week? lets see what's up with the yema de huevos first )i have purchased more seed so we will be having annual teosinte no matter what...here, in the pgp, and in the community garden...it will " make the corn stronger" as traditional farmers say.
