For the first time we've stored seeds in the refrigerator in a bag in the vegetable drawer and will plant them directly in the ground after the no-frost date. We decided not to try sprouting them in pots first.
When I was in college, I worked with a botany professor who was studying the effects of auxins and gibberellins (plant hormones) in Xanthium pennsylvanicum (cockleburs)...most interesting!
The internet was just catching on then in 2000. My son came from Atlanta and brought me a computer, and soon after that a friend from Louisiana set me up with gmail. That made it easier for me to handle the distance between North Carolina and Africa!
Great Information Deda!
This was fascinating I posted a link to this on the Asheville Plant People Facebook group and people are enjoying it.
Thank you for sharing this post, Isabel. I wonder where the world is now, 22 years later, as far as seed sustainability.
I don't really know anything about sustainability but I do know that seeds I store in the refrigerator will be viable for many years.

I think you will be pleased.

Helen, this is fascinating. It's a wonderful, beneficial field. I've always wanted to be a researcher in my next life.
Really interesting. I remember when she was there. Awesome stamps
