I've been on the native train for several years (northeast WI) and somehow hadn't stumbled upon dry strat. Interesting about the mold aspect. I've only moist-stratified via winter-sowing in milk jugs...which has resulted in about 75% success over the years. The tiny (dust-like) seeds have proven to be the most challenging. I pretty regularly get some green algae(?)-looking growth in plenty of jugs despite not over-watering. This has not seemed to be a problem though.
Love this! Love the journey! Thank you for sharing!
Very cool! I bought some of those packets for seed saving and to try this myself 😀
Thanks for sharing this! Really interesting.

I truly cannot wait
I store my seeds in the refrigerator. Never had a problem with germination.
My father left me a whole box of those little brown envelopes. He was in the florist business but I had no idea how they would be used.
