we will have seeds and plants

out back more seeds are becoming visible through the thinning husks and another ear has popped open ( which is on my desk as i type ) so more seeds are maturing and this is good news...

and in the damp paper towels, two more seeds from one usda accession and one from another were ready to plant so the went into peat pots under the lights in the basement...

the three i planted saturday are greening up nicely and two have well defined leaves...it is early days yet...indoor teosinte is a perilous business and it can be very disappointing..i have succeeded before however the plants that i grew were in containers that had been started outside and brought in...this may be a tricky situation and i am still learning...there will be more as i find my way.
