a second teosinte soak II

after twenty minutes i drained off the peroxide and wrapped the seeds in the wet towels, stuck them in their respectively labeled baggies, and stuck them in a box...i put the last box in the basement but i am keeping this one upstairs where it might be a tad warmer and help the germination along...the only seed that germinated in the first round was one that came from a plant out in my yard...i would certainly like to find viable seed from the indoor plants as well...the store bought seed is from last year ( i have purchased additional seed for this season 0 and i am soaking it to check its viability as well...if this round fails to germinate i will be retiring the seed from spring 2013 in favor of the fresh seed for the gardens...seven to ten days should tell the story ( fourteen at the outside )...more if and when it comes up...or even if it doesn't.
