I had success with my new technique and 2 out of 9 seeds germinated. This slightly exceeds my previous success rate of 0% for the past 2 years. LOL. I was surprised to see them both germinate as follows: http://www.badbear.com/P3070001.JPG http://www.badbear.com/P3070003.JPG Is this normal behavior? The seed shell hasn't sloughed off yet, so I don't know how many leaves are on each sprout. I'm guessing two each? Are the seeds "twins"? I can't find anything on-line about it. This seems odd (interesting) enough that it should be mentioned somewhere. Dennis in Frozen (about to get snowed under) Ohio
