Sorry everyone, I know I have posted something along these lines before,
but I like to stratify my Sarra seed for as long as possible. I have
had seed cold damp stratifying in spaghnum moss in my crisper for
12 months, and these showed the best % germination I have seen!
I guess the time they spend in the fridge is directly related to the
amount of patience you have (or in my case, absent mindedness) :-)
