Joolie said:It's my fault - I started soaking them just before labor day weekend even though I knew I was going to be busy and not able to dry them out. After realizing this a few days AFTER labor day I doubled down on my mistake by rinsing them off in preparation for drying them even though I knew I wasn't feeling well and probably wouldn't have the energy to actually lay them out to dry.

So, having soaked and rinsed away all the protective anti-sprouting compound, the seeds, now in fresh clean water, started to barely sprout. I didn't notice until I finally started to lay them out to dry. BOY was I mad at myself, haha.

I'm glad I didn't throw them all away though. If they may still sprout I don't want all the time I spent going to waste - I don't have a lot of extra energy lying about!

I'm feeling very accomplished, though! I sorted all my existing seeds into keeping, trading all and trading some. There's a LOT OF SEEDS in the to-trade bags! 😁

Very excited to start getting those bagged up and ready to trade.

Also I hope you guys like beans, I accidentally a ton of beans this year.

If that happened to me, I'd probably keep them for myself (because there's no harm in trying them, right?) But offer bmthe new ones for trade.

I had cosmos, beans, and something else sprout in the pod. Looks weird to see a cosmos growing not of a cosmos flower! And my peanuts, which were almost ready to harvest, got hit by the perfect weather and started germinating, so I have those growing. I forgot how long until harvest, but if needed I may move it inside.
