Personal Best - 16 yrs!
Dr. Carolyn was kind enough to send Gogosha seeds several years ago. I found out last year that my saved seeds were crossed. I checked the envelope and there were a few seed left - from 1991! I soaked them overnight in plain water and planted 7 seeds on Feb. 25. The first seedling appeared on Mar. 21. I now have 5 healthy seedlings. 5 out of 7 from 16 year old seeds. I feel like a proud new father - actually I became a grandfather for the third time during that same time period!.
Jim - who never ceases to be amazed at the persistence of nature.
