a secoond teosinte soak I

when i got home today i picked out seven store bought teosinte seeds to go with the fourteen i harvested from the plants in the basement and i put them in to soak in hydrogen peroxide ( 3% solution ) for twenty minutes...while they were soaking i took some brown paper towels ( these are not easy to find in the real world folks...i looked in hardware stores, home improvement stores, supermarkets, big box stores...no luck...where did i find them? the local dollar store, $1.25 for a hundred ) and soaked them in tap water that had been sitting out for at least twenty four hours...so the chlorine evanesces ( and bleached paper towels are not especially health for seeds either ) in preparation for the next step.
