Not much going on in the garden, and no precip for months.  Strange weather…

A couple of months ago, I wrote about scarifying elderberry seeds with strong acid.  I checked the seeds this morning – they’ve been sequestered in the refrigerator for cold stratification – and lo and behold – some of the seeds have actually sprouted!  I picked the 8 strongest, those with the most developed roots, and planted those winners in pots bound for the greenhouse.  The others I sowed in a pot next to their experimental brethren.   With any luck, come spring I’ll have a bunch of elderberry seedlings for eventual transplanting out to the food forest.
