planting teosinte

the batch of government seeds that were test germinated in 2003 are germinating at roughly 30% ( from a selection of ten seeds ) with one that was ready to plant so i put it in potting mix in a peat pot and then under the grow light in the basement...

the second government seeds that were test germinated in 2013 are germinating at 90% ( once again from a selection of ten seeds ) including two that were ready to go into pots..so 15% of the test gerination seeds are planted with , obviously, more to come...

the old northern tepehuan teosinte seed from native seed search that i found in the bottom of a box has turned out to be 40% viable..it is doubtlessly newer seed than the 2003 government variety and the discovery means, as long as i freeze it, i will have viable seed for the foreseeable future...can't argue with that.
