outdoor teosinte

my thinking is running something like this...i haven't been out in the back yard in a while but if there are still unshattered seed ears or stray seeds on the teosinte plants out there the seeds have surely had enough cold to break dormancy without the help of a peroxide soak...so after i got home form campus i went and had a look...most of the ears have shattered...a few had some stray seeds, and a couple were intact...so i gathered them up, brought them in, soaked some brown paper towel in water that had been siting out for a few days, and popped them in a baggie narked with today's date...then i put the baggie in the box with the rest of the seeds i am trying to germinate ( and which i have moved to a place warmer than the basement to speed things along a bit )...now we wait some more.
