viability

it is a warmish afternoon for late february and i decided to go out and clean up the yard a bit and turn over the bed i have in mind for the wheat for the first time...i will be turning it a few more times to disrupt any "weeds" before i plant wheat later next month...no lkater than the third week...

the new york imports have overwintered well and are soaking up some sunshine...

what attracted my attention most was the number of tesointe ears that had overwintered without shattering..the earsoin this photo hadn't even opened...

so i brought them in and removed the seeds...

soaked them in hydrogen peroxide for twenty minutes...

and into the requisite damp paper towel in a baggie and into a dark place to see if the seed could possibly be viable...my expectations are low...i have also been surprised before...we'll see in a couple of weeks.
